Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) imaging is a useful method in the diagnosis of acute myocarditis. We present a case of a 54-year-old male with a clinical diagnosis of acute myocarditis in whom, 68Ga-DOTANOC positron emission tomography/computed tomography PET/CT showed diffuse left ventricular myocardial uptake. SSTR imaging can act as a surrogate marker of active inflammation. SSTR imaging is useful in deciding site of biopsy, assessing response to therapy and for prognostication.
生长抑素受体(SSTR)显像在急性心肌炎的诊断中是一种有用的方法。我们报告一例54岁男性,临床诊断为急性心肌炎,其68Ga-DOTANOC正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(PET/CT)显示左心室心肌弥漫性摄取。SSTR显像可作为活动性炎症的替代标志物。SSTR显像有助于确定活检部位、评估治疗反应及进行预后判断。
