64Cu (half-life, 12.7 h; beta+, 0.653 MeV [17.4%]; beta-, 0.579 MeV [39%]) has shown potential as a radioisotope for PET imaging and radiotherapy. (111)In-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-D-Phe1-octreotide (OC) was developed for imaging somatostatin-receptor-positive tumors using conventional scintigraphy. With the advantages of PET over conventional scintigraphy, an agent for PET imaging of these tumors is desirable. Here, we show that 64Cu-TETA-OC (where TETA is 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid) and PET can be used to detect somatostatin-receptor-positive tumors in humans.
