SPECT/CT quantification of ¹⁷⁷Lu for dosimetry in radionuclide therapy treatments of neuroendocrine tumors

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) shows promising results in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. These tumors over-express somatostatin receptors that allow us to label somatostatin analogues with ¹⁷⁷Lu to deliver dose to the tumor. However, currently every patient receives the same...
