Abstract
Intense physiological 111In-DTPA-octreotide uptake of the pancreatic uncinate process can occur in 17% of cases on SPECT-CT acquisitions. This tracer accumulation can mimic malignancy in pancreatic head. Uptake in the pancreatic uncinate process should be correlated with morphologic examinations, such as CT, MRI or somatostatin PET-CT if available.
