In-111 octreotide SPECT/CT in the early diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis: A case report

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. At present the best diagnostic imaging procedure to assess stage and activity of sarcoidosis is controversial. We report the case of a 50-year-old male admitted with a history of dyspnea and fatigue with past medical history negative for sm...
