â¶â¸Ga-DOTATOC PET-CT in the localization of source of ectopic ACTH in patients with ectopic ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome.
[cushing syndrome]
Localization
of
the
source
of
adrenocorticotrophic
hormone
(
ACTH
)
in
ectopic
ACTH-induced
Cushing
's
syndrome
is
of
paramount
importance
as
definitive
management
mainly
involves
surgical
resection
of
tumor
.
Many
of
these
are
occult
,
not
identified
by
conventional
structural
imaging
.
Accurate
localization
and
assessment
of
their
functional
status
has
become
feasible
with
the
use
positron
emission
