Dotatate gallium (Ga-68) (Ga-DOTATATE ) under the brand name NETSPOT is indicated for use with positron emission tomography (PET) for localization of somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) in adult and pediatric patients. In addition, was shown, that Ga-DOTATATE can be used for detection the incidental medullary thyroid carcinoma. It binds to cells that express somatostatin receptors including malignant cells, which overexpress somatostatin subtype 2 receptors.
