"About 80% of insulinomas express the somatostatin receptors 2, and the Ga-68 DOTATATE scans have a high affinity for these receptors and, therefore, have high sensitivity in the detection of these tumours, particularly for low-grade and well-differentiated ones 8-10. The sensitivity of this study has been reported in up to 90% 8, when assessing insulinomas specifically, and ranging between 90-100% for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours as whole 9."
