Hannah Seok, Eun Young Lee, Eun Yeong Choe, Woo In Yang, Joo Young Kim, Dong Yeob Shin, Ho Jin Cho, Tae Sung Kim, Mi Jin Yun, Jong Doo Lee, Eun Jig Lee, Sung-Kil Lim, Yumie Rhee
Korean J Intern Med. 2013;28(1):81-88. Published online December 28, 2012
Background/AimsAlthough magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a good visual modality for the evaluation of pituitary lesions, it has limited value in the diagnosis of mixed nodules and some cystic lesions. We evaluated the usefulness of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron..

Role of 68Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT in the Evaluation of Primary Pulmonary Carcinoids
Tarun Jindal, Arvind Kumar, Balasubramanian Venkitaraman, Roman Dutta, Rakesh Kumar
Korean J Intern Med. 2010;25(4):386-391. Published online November 27, 2010
Background/AimsAlthough carcinoid tumors usually have good prognosis, early and specific diagnosis is important. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging do not provide findings that are specific for carcinoids, and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy suffers from low..
