Comparison of diagnostic efficacy of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT and ⁶⁸Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT in ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Fluorine-18 (¹⁸F)-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and gallium-68 (⁶⁸Ga)-somatostatin analog (SSA) PET/CT imaging have been increasingly used in ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome (EAS); however, the diagnostic efficacies of these two methods in patients with EAS remain unclear. Our study aimed to compare the diagnostic efficacies of ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT and ⁶⁸Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT in EAS.

Methods

The clinical and imaging data of 68 patients with EAS who underwent ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT and ⁶⁸Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT examinations from December 2016 to April 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, and the diagnostic efficacies of these methods were compared.
