Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy in a Patient with Myocarditis/Miyokarditli Bir Hastada Somatostatin Reseptor Sintigrafisi

We report a case of myocarditis imaged with technetium-99m octreotide cardiac single-photon emission computed tomography which showed diffuse uptake in the myocardium, indicating inflammatory reaction to myocardial damage.

Summary:We report a case of myocarditis imaged with technetium-99m octreotide cardiac single-photon emission computed tomography which showed diffuse uptake in the myocardium, indicating inflammatory reaction to myocardial damage. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy of the heart could be considered in patients with suspected cardiac inflammation. This could facilitate early diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment. Keywords: Myocarditis, somatostatin receptor scintigraphy, Tc-99m octreotide, myocarditis, SPECT Bu çalismada, miyokardiyal hasara enflamatuvar reaksiyonu gösteren, miyokardda yaygin alim gösteren teknesyum-99m oktreotid kardiyak tek foton emisyonlu bilgisayarli tomografi ile görüntülenen bir miyokardit olgusunu sunuyoruz. Miyokardiyal enflamasyondan süphelenilen hastalarda gögüs agrisi degerlendirilirken kalbin somatostatin reseptör sintigrafisi düsünülebilir. Bu, erken teshisi kolaylastirabilir ve uygun tedaviyi saglayabilir. Anahtar kelimeler: Miyokardit, somatostatin reseptör sintigrafisi, Tc-99m oktreotid, miyokardit, SPECT
