Autoradiography and immunohistochemistry studies showed that SSTRs are mainly located in the red pulp of the spleen. In this review article we will summarize the significance of splenic uptake in SSTR imaging studies and will also present high resolution splenic images of Ga-68 DOTANOC PET in which splenic distribution of the radiotracer appears to be correlating with the distribution of red pulp.en10.5603/NMR.a2018.0012info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSpleenSomatostatin ReceptorSSTRRadionuclideRed PulpScintigraphyGa-68 DOTANOCMediated Radionuclide TherapyCell Lung-CancerNeuroendocrine TumorsGa-68-Dota-Tyr(3)-Octreotide PetEndocrine TumorsLymphoid OrgansSubstance-PIn-VitroScintigraphySpleenSignificance of splenic uptake on somatostatin receptor imaging studiesReview Article2116670N/AWOS:0004250997000142-s2.0-8504332931029319140Q4
