Both FDOPA and TATE PET/CT imaging are useful to localize recurrences in MTC patients. While TATE imaging is superior to reveal skeletal disease, FDOPA seems better in liver and regional LN metastases; therefore, the two modalities appear complementary in monitoring MTC patients with elevated serum Ctn and/or CEA levels.
