Spain bids to make up for lost time on CT dose
The deadline for European Union countries to transpose the European Atomic Energy Community radiation protection directive into national law passed on 6 February, but Spain failed to comply and is now taking belated action to meet its obligations. What's more, a fierce debate over CT use is continuing.

PET develops key clinical role in neuroendocrine tumors
By Edna Astbury-Ward, PhD
Dual PET imaging and the NETPET score are proving increasingly useful in the prognosis and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors.
February 19, 2026
Dual PET imaging in Case Two illustrates a patient with discordant disease. FDG PET (b & d) shows FDG uptake in tail of pancreas primary lesion (yellow arrow), as well as multiple hepatic metastases (yellow boxes), with enlarged liver span. DOTATATE PET on left (a) shows several hepatic metastases that do not demonstrate DOTATATE uptake above background of liver parenchyma. The liver lesions in (c) demonstrate moderate FDG uptake in liver lesions, with no corresponding DOTATATE avidity (white box) or central photopenia (white arrow). This discordance in dual PET imaging corresponds to a NETPET score of 5. This suggests de-differentiated disease and a less favorable prognosis. The patient was not suitable for Lutate treatment and received chemotherapy.
