The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence and frequency of increased physiologic uptake of 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC by the uncinate process of the pancreas in SPECT/CT images.
Forty-six scans of 41 patients were evaluated retrospectively. The uptake of 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC was considered to be physiologic in patients with normal findings at dedicated abdominal CT or MR and lack of neoplastic lesions in clinical follow-ups. The intensity of uncinate process uptake was compared to the uptake of the normal liver.
Focal uptake was attributed to the presence of pancreatic NET in 5 patients. Among the 36 patients without any evidence of malignancy in CT, MR and follow-up, 7 (19.4 %) showed increased uptake in the uncinate process. The intensity of uptake was lesser in 3 (8.3 %), similar in 3 and greater than the normal liver in 1 (2.8 %) case.
Increased 99mTc-HYNIC-TOC uptake occurred in 19.4 % of those subjects without any evidence of neuroendocrine tumor in the uncinate process.
本研究旨在评估在SPECT/CT图像中胰腺钩突对99mTc-HYNIC-TOC生理性摄取增加的发生率和频率。
对41例患者的46次扫描进行回顾性评估。在专门的腹部CT或MR检查结果正常且临床随访中无肿瘤病变的患者中，99mTc-HYNIC-TOC的摄取被认为是生理性的。将钩突摄取的强度与正常肝脏的摄取进行比较。
5例患者的局灶性摄取归因于胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤。在36例CT、MR和随访中无任何恶性证据的患者中，7例（19.4%）钩突摄取增加。摄取强度在3例（8.3%）中较低，3例相似，1例（2.8%）大于正常肝脏。
在钩突无任何神经内分泌肿瘤证据的受试者中，19.4%出现99mTc-HYNIC-TOC摄取增加。
