An octreotide scan is a type of
tumor cells that have receptors for somatostatin (i.e. gastrinoma, glucagonoma, etc.). A gamma camera detects the radioactive octreotide, and makes pictures showing where the tumor cells are in the body, typically by a SPECT technique. A technetium-99m based radiopharmaceutical kit is also available.[2][3]
Octreotide scanning is reported to have a sensitivity between 75% and 100% for detecting pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.[4]
Instead of gamma-emitting 111In, certain octreotide derivatives such as
copper-64 DOTATATE scans. Somatostatin receptor imaging can now be performed with positron emission tomography (PET) which offers higher resolution and more rapid imaging.[5]
Indications
An octreotide scan may be used to locate suspected primary neuroendocrine tumours (NET) or for follow-up or staging after treatment.[6][7][8]
Where indicated, octreotide scanning for NET tumors is being increasingly replaced by
copper-64 DOTATATE scans.[9]

The
Approximately 200
megabecquerels (MBq) of indium-111 is injected intravenously. Imaging takes place 24 hours after injection, but may also be carried out at 4 and 48 hours.[7][12]
Technetium-99m
The 99mTc product is supplied as a kit with two vials, one containing the
chelating agent ethylenediaminediacetic acid (EDDA) and the other the HYNIC-Tyr3-octreotide chelator and somatostatin analog.[13] Approximately 400-700 MBq may be administered, with imaging at 2, 4, and occasionally 24 hours post administration.[14] 99mTc based octreotide imaging shows slightly higher sensitivity than 111In.[2][15]
