  2. Octreotide scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octreotide_scan

    An octreotide scan is a type of SPECT scintigraphy used to find carcinoid, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and to localize sarcoidosis. It is also called somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS). Octreotide , a drug similar to somatostatin , is radiolabeled with indium-111 , [ 1 ] and is injected into a vein and travels through the bloodstream.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOTA-TATE

    [11] [12] 68 Ga DOTA-TATE imagery has a much higher sensitivity and resolution compared to 111 In octreotide gamma camera or SPECT scans, due to intrinsic modality differences. [11] It is commonly used to confirm the presence of paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas.

  4. Octreotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octreotide

    Octreotide, sold under the brand name Sandostatin among others, is an octapeptide that mimics natural somatostatin pharmacologically, though it is a more potent inhibitor of growth hormone, glucagon, and insulin than the natural hormone.

  5. Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_receptor...

    The natural somatostatin receptor ligand, the 14 amino acid peptide somatostatin (A), was abridged to the biologically more stable 8 amino acid peptide Octreotide (OC, B). Introduction of a tyrosine into the 3rd position of the Octreotide sequence resulted in Tyr3-Octreotide (TOC, C), which allows for iodination of the tyrosine residue with the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_gallium

    Gallium-68 DOTA scans are increasingly replacing octreotide scans (a type of indium-111 scan using octreotide as a somatostatin receptor ligand). The 68 Ga is bound to a chemical such as DOTATOC and the positrons it emits are imaged by PET-CT scan. Such scans are useful in locating neuroendocrine tumors and pancreatic cancer. [8]

    In addition, there are nuclear medicine studies that allow imaging of the whole body based on certain cellular receptors or functions. Examples are whole body PET scans or PET/CT scans, gallium scans, indium white blood cell scans, MIBG and octreotide scans. Iodine-123 whole body scan for thyroid cancer evaluation.

  9. Edotreotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edotreotide

    Edotreotide (USAN, also known as (DOTA 0-Phe 1-Tyr 3) octreotide, DOTA-TOC, DOTATOC) is a substance which, when bound to various radionuclides, is used in the treatment and diagnosis of certain types of cancer. [3] When used therapeutically it is an example of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.
