Histopathological Evaluation of Somatostatin Receptor 2 Expression in Myocarditis—Rationale for the Diagnostic Use of Somatostatin Receptor Imaging
In conclusion, our findings demonstrate the expression of SSTR2 on the protein level on CD68-positive macrophages and multinucleated giant cells in various forms of myocarditis, which provides a clear rationale for the diagnostic use of SSTR imaging in this patient group.
