[Ga68]DOTATATE PET in Schwannomas: Distinct Avidity Pattern Supporting Noninvasive Diagnosis
Schwannomas exhibit minimal [Ga68]DOTATATE avidity, in contrast to SSTR2-expressing tumors such as meningiomas. [Ga68]DOTATATE PET may therefore aid in non-invasively differentiating schwannomas from SSTR2-expressing tumors with overlapping MRI features in diagnostically challenging cases.
