Preoperative assessment of lymph nodal metastases with [ < sup > 68 < /sup > Ga]Ga-DOTATOC PET radiomics for improved surgical planning in well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

CONCLUSION: In this study, [68Ga]Ga-DOTATOC PET radiomics allowed to increase diagnostic sensitivity in detecting LN metastases from 24 to 77% in NF-PanNET patients candidate to surgery. Especially in case of micrometastatic involvement, this approach might assist clinicians in a better patients' stratification.PMID:38696129 | DOI:10.1007/s00259-024-06730-w
