===== 68Ga-DOTATATE PET for meningioma diagnosis =====

see [[68Ga-DOTATATE PET for meningioma diagnosis]].

Scanning for [[somatostatin receptor]]s using [[68Ga-DOTATATE PET]] with co-registration with [[computed tomography]] or [[magnetic resonance imaging]] is now in widespread use for the identification of [[neuroendocrine tumor]]s, [[pheochromocytoma]]s, and [[paraganglioma]]s and their metastases
