Abstract

Higher affinity of Ga compounds to somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) and PET better image resolution increased interest in Ga-labelled somatostatin analogs in the management of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). This study aimed to evaluate the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) variation in sequential somatostatin analogs-PET in NET patients and identify optimal tumour detection and characterization imaging time.
