Neuroendocrine Tumors
Conditions
Brief summary
Evaluation of the properties of the image capture test using 99m Tc - HYNIC -TOC EDDA (octreotide labeled with 99mTc) for the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors compared to the 111In - DTPA-octreotide.
Interventions
The patient will undercome an PET/CT exam with 99m Tc - HYNIC -TOC EDDA, after 20 days of wash out, the same patient will undercome the same exam with 111In - DTPA-octreotide in order to compare both radiopharmaceuticals
