ARRS is offering free registration for this month's AJR Live Webinar. 68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT is the most sensitive imaging test available to detect somatostatin receptor (type 2) expressing tumors such as Gastro intestinal pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP NETs), bronchial carcinoids, paragangliomas, neuroblastomas, phaeochromocytomas and medullary thyroid cancers. Low and intermediate grade tumors tend to take up DOTATATE homogenously and avidly. 177Lu DOTATATE therapy is approved for treatment of patients with GEP NETs which are locally advanced or un-resectable and progressing despite somatostatin analogue therapy. This webinar will cover the interpretation of 68G DOTATATE PET/CT, pitfalls, mimics and principles and practice of 177Lu DOTATATE therapy.

A foundational review of 68Ga DOTATATE PET/CT and 177Lu DOTATATE therapy for practicing radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, nuclear medicine technologists and residents is valuable to enhance the service to our patients, impact patient care and outcomes.
