Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy

Preferred Label : Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy;

NCIt related terms : SRS; octreotide scan;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A type of radionuclide scan used to find carcinoid and other types of tumors. Radioactive octreotide, a drug similar to somatostatin, is injected into a vein and travels through the bloodstream. The radioactive octreotide attaches to tumor cells that have receptors for somatostatin. A radiation-measuring device detects the radioactive octreotide, and makes pictures showing where the tumor cells are in the body.;
