Most head and neck paragangliomas (PGLs) are biochemically silent and often present with recurrence and metastases in association with hereditary syndromes. Whole-body functional imaging is increasingly used to detect tumor extent and guide treatment planning of PGLs. [68Ga]-DOTATATE, which targets somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) overexpression, has emerged as a sensitive functional imaging modality in PGLs. We present a patient with metastatic glomus caroticum PGL in whom [68Ga]-DOTATATE PET/MRI provided a more accurate characterization of metastatic extent, as compared to gadolinium-enhanced MRI of the neck and whole body [18F]-FDG PET/CT. We then review the current literature and discuss the imaging implications of [68Ga]-DOTATATE PET/MRI in PGLs.

Introduction: The purpose of the study was to determine the usefulness of Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/MR in the identification of tumours in individuals with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1).
Methods: In this retrospective investigation, five individuals who had tested positive for a hereditary MEN1 variant underwent Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/MR between May 2020 and January 2023. Several types of tumours associated with MEN1 were studied.

Background: Our purpose was to determine the utility of [68Ga]-DOTATATE PET/MRI in meningioma response assessment following radiosurgery.
Methods: Patients with meningioma prospectively underwent postoperative DOTATATE PET/MRI. Co-registered PET and gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MRI were employed for radiosurgery planning.

Background: New digital detectors and block-sequential regularized expectation maximization (BSREM) reconstruction algorithm improve positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance (MR) image quality. The impact on image quality may differ from analogue PET/computed tomography (CT) protocol. The aim of this study is to determine the potential reduction of injected [Ga]Ga-DOTA-TATE activity for digital PET/MR with BSREM reconstruction while maintaining at least equal image quality compared to the current analogue PET/CT protocol.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of adding 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/MRI to standard MRI for target volume delineation in Gamma Knife® stereotactic radiosurgery (GKSRS) for meningioma.
Methods: Seventeen patients with 18 lesions undergoing GKSRS for WHO grade 1 meningioma were enrolled in a prospective study. All patients underwent pre-treatment 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/MRI examination in addition to standard procedures.

Primary pediatric lung tumors are uncommon and have many overlapping clinical and imaging features. In contrast to adult lung tumors, these rare pediatric neoplasms have a relatively broad histologic spectrum. Informed by a single-institution 13-year retrospective record review, we present an overview of the most common primary pediatric lung neoplasms, with a focus on the role of positron emission tomography (PET), specifically F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET and Ga-DOTATATE PET, in the management of primary pediatric lung tumors.
