Head-to-Head Comparison between Peptide-Based Radiopharmaceutical for PET and SPECT in the Evaluation of Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: We compared head-to-head the most used radiolabeled peptides for single photon computed emission tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The following words, coupled two by two, were used: ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATOC; ⁶⁸Ga-DOTATATE; ⁶⁸Ga-DOTANOC; ^99mTc-EDDA/HYNIC-TOC; ⁶⁴Cu-DOTATATE; and ¹¹¹In-DTPA-octreotide. Moreover, a second-step search strategy was adopted by using the following combined terms: "Somatostatin receptor imaging,"; "Somatostatin receptor imaging" and "Functional,"; "Somatostatin receptor imaging" and "SPECT,"; and "Somatostatin receptor imaging" and "PET".
