A novel imaging approach—68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT—can more accurately differentiate residual/recurrent tumors from post-surgery scar tissue in patients with head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) compared to MRI. Providing functional information about the tumors, 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT has the potential to play a vital role in improving preoperative and postoperative treatment planning strategies for HNPGL patients.
