Comparison of the Sensitivity of ⁶⁸ Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT with Other Imaging Modalities in Detecting Head and Neck Paraganglioma: Experience from Western India.

ABSTRACT: Background  This study aimed to compare the sensitivity of ⁶⁸ Ga-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with other imaging modalities in the detection of head and neck paraganglioma (HNPGL). Methods  The data of consecutive HNPGL patients ( n  = 34) who had undergone at least ⁶⁸ Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and anatomical imaging (contrast-enhanced computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging [CECT/MRI]) were retrospectively reviewed. The diagnosis of HNPGL (the primary tumor) was confirmed either by histopathology ( n  = 10) or was based on clinical follow-up and correlation of anatomical with functional imaging in whom histopathology was not available ( n  = 24). The sensitivities of ⁶⁸ Ga DOTATATE PE
