Resumen
OLIVA GONZALEZ, Juan P et al. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy with -DOTATATE PET/CT: initial experience in Cuba. Nucleus [online]. 2017, n.62, pp.14-23.
ISSN 0864-084X.
In 1870, Rudolf Heidenhain discovered neuroendocrine cells, which can lead to the development of the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NER), a rare form of cancer, most of which express somatostatin receptors. The basis of Receptor Scintigraphy as a metabolic-molecular image is based on the use of -DOTA-peptides with specific binding to somatostatin receptors.The purpose of this publication is to present our first experiences in the study of different histological types of TNE by means of Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy (GRS) using
-DOTATATE performed at the PET / CT Center and Molecular Image of the Department of Nuclear Medicine of the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology (Inor)
