TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the diagnostic value of CT with that of the novel somatostatin analog 68Ga-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclodododecane-N,N′,N″, N′′′-Tetraacetic acid-d-Phe1-Tyr3-Octreotide (68Ga-DOTATOC) in the detection of such metastases.

TL;DR: The intention is to demystify the MR quantification of hepatic iron (i.e., the liver iron concentration) and give you a step-by-step approach by answering the most pertinent questions and to be more of a manual or guide for every radiologist.

TL;DR: 18F-FDG PET/CT is a complementary tool to 68Ga-DOTA-TOCPET/CT with clinical relevance for molecular investigation and correlates strongly with a higher risk of progression in NET patients.

TL;DR: MRI-based T2* relaxation diagnoses HIO very accurately, even at low iron concentrations, a rapid, non-invasive, accurate and reproducible technique for validating the evidence of even low hepatic iron concentrations.

TL;DR: Calibration curves from published studies that are based on a correlation of liver biopsy and R2* can be used for the estimation of liver iron concentration, although different scanning parameters and post-processing protocols were used.
