Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-DOTATATE 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), 18F-FDG PET/CT and 131I-MIBG scintigraphy in the mapping of metastatic pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.
Materials and Methods: Seventeen patients (male?=?8, female?=?9; age range, 13?68 years) with clinically proven or suspicious metastatic pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma were included in this prospective study. Twelve patients underwent all three modalities, whereas five patients underwent 68Ga-DOTATATE and 131I-MIBG without 18F-FDG. A composite reference standard derived from anatomical and functional imaging findings, along with histopathological information, was used to validate the findings. Results were analysed on a per-patient and on per-lesion basis. Sensitivity and accuracy were assessed using McNemar’s test.
Results: On a per-patient basis, 14/17 patients were detected in 68Ga-DOTATATE, 7/17 patients in 131I-MIBG, and 10/12 patients in 18F-FDG. The sensitivity and accuracy of 68Ga-DOTATATE, 131I-MIBG and 18F-FDG were (93.3 %, 94.1 %), (46.7 %, 52.9 %) and (90.9 %, 91.7 %) respectively. On a per-lesion basis, an overall of 472 positive lesions were detected; of which 432/472 were identified by 68Ga-DOTATATE, 74/472 by 131I-MIBG, and 154/300 (patient, n?=?12) by 18F-FDG. The sensitivity and accuracy of 68Ga-DOTATATE, 131I-MIBG and 18F-FDG were (91.5 %, 92.6 % p?
Conclusions: Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT shows high diagnostic accuracy than 131I-MIBG scintigraphy and 18F-FDG PET/ CT in mapping metastatic pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.
