Overview
Positron emission tomography (PET) and scintigraphy are among other imaging modalities that may be helpful in the diagnosis and management of appendix cancer.
Other Imaging Findings
- The followings are among other imaging modalities that may be helpful in the diagnosis and management of appendix cancer:
- Somatostatin scintigraphy with 111-indium-octreotide[1]
- High sensitivity and specificity for both functioning and non-functioning carcinoid tumors
- Most sensitive imaging method to evaluate extrahepatic metastases
- Useful in treatment planning
- Indicates response to octreotide analogues
- Bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (99mTcMDP)[2]
- MIBG scintigraphy [2]
- Distinguish between primary and metastatic tumors
- Detecting carcinoid tumors that are negative on OctreoScan
- Positron emission tomography (PET):
- PET-CT scan will show high uptake in the metastasis points as well residual tumor and/or peritoneal carcinomatosis.
- Figure below demonstrates post-operative PET-CT scan of a patient with carcinoid tumor.[3]
