[Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in a patient with myocarditis] [Miyokarditli bir hastada somatostatin reseptör sintigrafisi]

We report a case of myocarditis imaged with technetium-99m octreotide cardiac single-photon emission computed tomography which showed diffuse uptake in the myocardium, indicating inflammatory reaction to myocardial damage. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy of the heart could be considered in patients with suspected cardiac inflammation. This could facilitate early diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment
