Table 1. Performance comparison of 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATATE.

N = 31 18F-FDG (95% CI) 68Ga-DOTATATE (95% CI)
SENS (%) 93.3 (68.1–99.8) 73.3 (44.9–92.2)
SPEC (%) 81.3 (54.4–96.0) 93.8 (69.8–99.8)
PPV (%) 82.4 (56.6–96.2) 91.7 (61.5–99.8)
NPV (%) 92.9 (66.1–99.8) 78.9 (54.4–93.9)
Accuracy (%) 87.3 (0.76–0.99) 83.5 (0.70–0.97)

18F-FDG SUVmax ≥ 2.5 or 68Ga-DOTATATE SUVmax ≥ 1.5 defines a positive study.

SENS, sensitivity; SPEC, specificity; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; SUVmax, maximum standardized uptake value; CI, confidence intervals
