A novel imaging approach—68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT—can more accurately differentiate residual/recurrent tumors from post-surgery scar tissue in patients with head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) compared to MRI.
PET/CT provides superior lesion detection for head and neck paragangliomas compared to gold standard MRIGa-DOTATATE PET/CT—can more accurately differentiate residual/recurrent tumors from post-surgery scar tissue in patients with head and neck paragangliomas compared to MRI. Providing functional information about the tumors,Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT has the potential to play a vital role in improving preoperative and postoperative treatment planning strategies for HNPGL patients.
HNPGLs are rare neuroendocrine tumors that pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their complex anatomical locations. The role of imaging modalities is crucial in the management of these tumors.
