Hybrid Imaging Slash

"Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT or PET/MRI is particularly valuable when diagnostic doubt exists ¹⁹. Dural metastases typically do not overexpress somatostatin receptors (except for metastases originating from neuroendocrine tumours) ^17,20,21."

"Dural metastases, also known as pachymeningeal metastases, are a relatively common cause of dural masses, though less common than brain metastases and meningiomas. They can occur both within the spine and intracranially; this article focuses on intracranial dural masses."
