Overview
Other imaging studies for VIPoma include somatostatin receptor scintigraphy and PET scan using radiolabeled somatostatin analogs.
Other Imaging Findings
- Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (Octreoscan) is used to localise the tumor, which is usually metastatic at presentation.
- Nearly 80-90% of all VIPoma are somatostatin receptor positive.[1][2]
