This Dote pet CT was done on a 70-year-old female
0:06
for staging of a neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas
0:11
that had been resected.
0:14
In this case, we see several areas of abnormality.
0:17
I have changed a little bit the window
0:19
so we can appreciate the areas
0:21
of abnormal uptake in the liver as well as, uh,
0:24
abnormal uptake in the left supraclavicular region.
0:28
But I want to draw your attention to the area
0:32
of very intense uptake in the head that, uh,
0:36
has much greater uptake than the rest of the lesions
0:40
localizes two kind of oval
0:45
hyperdense lesion in the right
0:49
frontal calvarium.
0:52
When we look at these lesion on coronal, we can see
0:56
that each of extra axial location
1:01
when, and we see this, one of the possibilities we have
1:06
to raise is that this is a meningioma.
1:09
Meningioma are known to express
1:13
somatostatin receptors and
1:15
therefore are very often identified incidentally,
1:20
when we are doing a dotatate pit for another reason.
1:24
If it's not clear, because the lesion is small
1:28
and we are lacking a spatial resolution, we can always ask
1:32
for additional imaging of the head to help confirm
1:37
and distinguish this pitfall from a malignant finding
1:42
like a metastasis, when we change to bone window,
1:47
we can see that the lesion scene does not create any changes
1:51
on the inner table, which is another sign
1:54
that this is an extra axial lesion rather than an
1:59
osseous lesion.
