Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of the radiotracer [F]SiTATE for imaging thyroid carcinomas (TC), specifically in patients with medullary (MTC) and differentiated (DTC) types, given that data on its use for TC is limited.
- - A total of 21 patients underwent [F]SiTATE PET/CT scans, analyzing 89 lesions and observing high uptake in metastases, particularly in bone and lymph nodes, while also examining correlations with tumor markers like calcitonin for MTC.
- - Results suggest that [F]SiTATE PET/CT is a promising tool for imaging thyroid cancer, potentially offering advantages over traditional gallium-based tracers in clinical settings.
Background: The study aimed to compare and correlate morphological and functional parameters in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) and their synchronous liver metastases (NELM), while also assessing prognostic imaging parameters.
Methods: Patients with G1/G2 pNET and synchronous NELM underwent pretherapeutic abdominal MRI with DWI and 68Ga-DOTATATE/TOC PET/CT were included. ADC (mean, min), SNR_art and SNT_T2 (SNR on arterial phase and on T2) and SUV (max, mean) for three target NELM and pNET, as well as tumor-free liver and spleen (only in PET/CT) were measured.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive and monitoring role of somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) and clinical parameters in patients with neuroendocrine liver metastases (NELM) from pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) receiving capecitabine and temozolomide (CAPTEM).
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included twenty-two patients with pNET and NELM receiving CAPTEM who underwent pre- and post-therapeutic Ga-DOTATATE/-TOC PET/CT. Imaging (including standardized uptake value [SUV] of target lesions [NELM and pNET], normal spleen and liver) and clinical (Chromogranin A [CgA], Ki-67) parameters were assessed.
Introduction: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) in childhood and during adolescence is extremely rare. Pediatric DTC commonly presents with advanced disease at diagnosis including a high prevalence of cervical lymph node metastases and pulmonary metastases. Studies in children with DTC are limited.

Method: One hundred twenty-seven patients with NETs with and without hepatic and extrahepatic metastases who underwent liver MRI and SSTR-PET/CT were retrospectively analyzed. Two radiologists evaluated in consensus in four sessions: (1) non-contrast T1w+T2w (NC), (2) NC+DWI, (3) NC+ contrast-enhanced T1w (CE), and (4) NC+DWI+CE the presence and number of metastases (lymph nodes, bone, peritoneal surface, lung base, and abdominal organ).
