The molecular imaging agents 68Ga-DOTATOC and 68Ga-DOTATATE demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of NETs on PET scan. Although both are accurate tools in the diagnosis of NETs, 68Ga-DOTATATE PET may be more sensitive and specific than 68Ga-DOTATOC PET scan.

The endobronchial forceps technique can be safely used to remove tip-embedded IVC filters.

Our study indicates that 99mTc sestamibi SPECT/CT has a higher sensitivity compared with static planar scintigraphy in the preoperative evaluation of hemodialysis patients with SHPT because of chronic kidney disease. SPECT/CT can not only detect a larger number of PTGs but can also depict the precise location of PTGs more accurately when compared with static planar scintigraphy.

Use of 20-gauge side-cut core biopsy needles requires a significant number of passes to ensure diagnostic adequacy for molecular testing across all tissue types. To ensure diagnostic adequacy for molecular testing, 16- and 18-gauge needles require markedly fewer passes.

Vascular interventional radiology procedures are relatively safe compared with analogous surgical procedures, with overall major complication rates of less than 1%. However, major vascular injuries resulting from these procedures may lead to significant morbidity and mortality. This review will discuss the etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of vascular complications related to percutaneous vascular interventions. Early recognition of these complications and familiarity with treatment options are essential skills for the interventional radiologist.
