Indium-i 1i-octreotide, a somatostatin analog, is the first commer ciallyavailable receptor-
based agent. Itshares the binding site of naturally occurring somatostatin and is suitable for …

Somatostatin, a naturally occurring 14-amino acid peptide, can be thought of as an anti-
growth hormone and functional down-regulator of sensitive tissue. Most neuroendocrine …

The neuropeptide somatostatin—a cyclic tetradecapeptide first isolated from ovine
hypothalamus (1)—is the most widely distributed of the hypothalamic releasing hormones in …

This study evaluates the in vivo visualization of somatostatin (SS) receptors in central
nervous system (CNS) tumours using 111 In-octreotide imaging and discusses the clinical …

The somatostatin analogue [111 In-DTPA-d-Phe 1]-octreotide (111 In-octreotide) allows
scintigraphic visualization of somatostatin receptor-expressing tissue. While it is well known …

The last 2 years have brought significant progress for the clinical use of somatostatin
receptor (SSR) targeted imaging and therapy in the United States. In 2016, the Food and …

Octreotide scan is also known as somatostatin receptor scintigraphy. This scintigraphy is
useful in the detection of carcinoid tumors and various neuroendocrine tumors …

Comparative studies measuring somatostatin receptors in vitro and octreotide effect on
hormonal hypersecretion in vivo in such patients demonstrated clearly that the somatostatin …

1650 Objectives: In-111 labelled Octreotide scintigraphy has been shown to be a valuable
tool for the diagnosis of somatostatin expressing tumours and this method has been widely …

Recent studies have highlighted the high sensitivity of PET imaging with 68Ga-labeled
octreotide derivatives for the detection and staging of neuroendocrine tumors. A …
