Background: Somatostatin receptor (SSTR) PET imaging is utilized with increasing frequency in the clinical management of neuroendocrine tumors. Incidental PET-avid CNS lesions are commonly noted and presumed to be meningiomas. However, SSTR PET lacks specificity for meningioma identification. This study aims to clarify the role of SSTR-based imaging for classification of incidental CNS lesionsMethods: Patients who had undergone both Ga-68-DOTATATE PET an...
