This is a pathology proven epen-dymoma. (Asterisk points to normal uptakein the clivus)

1 1 1 I n - D T P A(diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid)-octreotide is a radio-pharmaceutical widelyused for visualizationof somatostatin recep-tor positive tumors.High densities ofsomatostatin recep-tors have been identi-

fied in a variety of tumors such as gastro-enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors,em-bryonal tumors, meningiomas, and pituitary aden-omas. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) isan established imaging technique in the diagnosis,staging, and follow-up of neuroendocrine tumorssuch as carcinoids and islet cell tumors (1). In

the pediatric population, SRS has also beensuccessfully used for differential diagnosisand surveillance of brain tumors.

CNS ApplicationsIn the International Classification of Child-

hood Cancer (ICCC), pediatric central ner-vous system (CNS) tumors are divided intosix subgroups, with the main diagnosticgroups being: IIIa-ependymoma (8-14%), IIIb- astrocytoma (38-50%), IIIc- embryonal tu-mors (16-25%), and IIId- other gliomas (4-16%) (2). Embryonal tumors, as a group, arethe most malignant and comprise of the fol-lowing subtypes: medulloblastoma, supra-tentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors(PNET), atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors,medulloepithelioma, and ependymo-blas-toma.

High densities of somatostatin receptors have been identifiedin embryonal tumors, and SRS has been successfully used toimage these tumors (3). Despite tremendous advantages in dis-playing anatomic detail, the preoperative ability of conventionalMRI and MR spectroscopy to predict tumor histology remainslimited. Medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and pilocytic astrocy-tomas account for the three most common types of pediatricposterior fossa tumors. High expression of somatostatin recep-tors in medulloblastoma allows it to be distinguished from glialtumors using SRS (Fig 1) (4). In the supratentorial fossa, SRS canbe used to differentiate primitive neuroectodermal tumors fromhigh grade gliomas (5).

Perhaps even more important than the ability to differentiateembryonal tumors from glial tumors is the role of SRS in thesurveillance of somatostatin receptor positive brain tumors. Inspite of the advances in therapy, the prognosis of children withembryonal tumors remains poor with a five-year relative survivalrate of 56%. Conventional MRI is the standard imaging modalityfor surveillance of brain tumors, but has limited ability in differ-entiating tumor from therapy related changes. Given the imprac-

ticality of sequential biopsies to monitor response to therapy inbrain tumors, accurate imaging methods are needed for surveil-lance. SRS has been shown to improve the accuracy of surveil-lance scanning of SSTR positive tumors of childhood. In a seriesof 20 children with medulloblastoma, Muller, et al., found SRS tobe true positive in 7 of 7 cases, true negative in 9 of 9 cases(including one with false positive MRI), false negative in onlyone patient with small drop metastasis, and false positive in nopatient (4). Medulloblastoma is an infratentorial primitive neuro-ectodermal tumor (PNET), and it is similar on histologic examina-tion to supratentorial PNET. Not surprisingly, supratentorialPNETs have also been shown to express high densities of SSTRand SRS has been used to identify early recurrence prior to theonset of clinical symptoms or tumor identification on MRI (5).

In our experience, the accuracy of surveillance imaging of so-matostatin receptor CNS tumors can be improved by using SRSin combination with MRI, rather than MRI alone (6). In 4 out of 15cases who had tumor recurrence in our series, the recurrence wasinitially detected on SRS alone as the MRI was negative in onepatient due to hemorrhage in the tumor bed, could not differenti-ate between radiation necrosis and tumor in two patients, andcould not differentiate between scar and recurrent tumor in onepatient (Fig 2). The specificity of binding of Octreotide to SSTRshelped to improve specificity of surveillance imaging from 86%to 97% by differentiating enhancement due to scar from tumorrelated enhancement. Based on the above findings, we recom-mend the combined use of SRS and MRI in post-therapy follow-up of SSTR-positive tumors of childhood.

Other ApplicationsSomatostatin receptor scintigraphy has been successfully used

to image a variety of neural crest tumors in the pediatric popula-tion such as carcinoids, paragangliomas, and neuroblastoma. Pa-tients with neuroendocrine tumors are often misdiagnosed andthe average time from initial onset of symptoms to diagnosis canbe several years. It is an extremely sensitive technique in theevaluation of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors,both for tumor detection and staging. The availability of SPECT/CT has helped to improve the diagnostic accuracy of SRS. Inaddition, SRS has also been shown to have prognostic signifi-cance in the evaluation of neuroblastoma patients.

Sectional UpdateNeuroradiology Division: 5 Years Later(2001-2006)

by Wendy R.K. Smoker, MS, MD, FACR, Professor,Director of Neuroradiology, Co-Director of MRI

The past five years have seenmany changes and advancementsin the Neuroradiology Division.We are very fortunate to be cur-rently staffed with sevenneuroradiologists and three physi-cists. Our newest members, DrsTheodore (Ted) Donta, MD, PhD,and Bruno Policeni, MD, joined usthis past July following completionof fellowships in our Division. Wehave expertise in MR diffusion/per-

fusion imaging, spectroscopy, diffusion tensor imaging /tractography, phase-contrast CSF flow assessments, and CT per-fusion. We offer our clinical colleagues expertise in all areas ofneuroradiology and head and neck radiology.

During the past five years we received an unrestricted, 5-yearaccreditation for our ACGME Neuroradiology fellowship. Wecurrently have 3 ACGME fellows and have filled our fellowshipslots for 2007. Also, this past year we received approval for anew, dedicated Head and Neck Radiology fellowship and theABR has recently recognized this fellowship as fulfilling the re-quirement of a second year of neuroradiology for purposes oftaking the Certificate of Added Qualification in Neuroradiology.This is the first formal head and neck fellowship in the UnitedStates and the first approved by the ABR. With approximately30% of our patients referred for head and neck imaging from ourhighly ranked Otolaryngology and Ophthalmology colleagues,this fellowship would allow concentrated exposure to head andneck pathology, culminating in an advanced level of expertise.

Tremendous growth in volume, technology, and equipmenthas occurred over the past few years. Our MR volume has grownby approximately 30% and our CT volume has grown by approxi-mately 25%. Three years ago we occupied a small reading roomwith an alternator and five PACS workstations. Today, we are inthe largest of our new reading rooms, equipped with eight PACSworkstations, two 3-D Vitrea workstations, our E-film worksta-tion, and, of course, one alternator! When the MR renovationsare complete, we will occupy a portion of another reading roomin which we will have two additional PACS workstations.

Three years ago we had three (2 very old!) MR scanners. To-day, 2 of these have been replaced and we currently have a totalof five 1.5T and one 3T MR scanners. We perform diffusiontensor imaging on all patients. We offer perfusion imaging, oftenwith MR angiography, on all stroke patients. Suspected tumorpatients are also evaluated with perfusion imaging, with the ad-dition of spectroscopy when needed.

We currently have six CT scanners in operation and a seventh

Education Updateby Brian F. Mullan, MS, MD, Clinical AssociateProfessor, Vice Chair for Education, Director ofMedical Student Education

Just as the science and practice ofclinical radiology advances, so does theeducation that underlies that practice.Through the department’s EducationCommittee, we continuously review, re-vise and innovate our curricula in orderto provide our trainees with not onlythe most up-to-date and relevant knowl-edge content, but also training in theskills that will allow them to continue tolearn and develop throughout their ca-reers.

New rotations for our residents focus on some of the fastestgrowing areas in radiology. Non-invasive neuro-angiographyfocuses on the rapid assessment of cerebrovascular disease andworks closely with the UIHC Stroke Center to provide care inthat critical initial period following a stroke. The non-invasivecardiovascular angiography rotation focuses on the assessmentof cardiovascular disease including cardiac CTA and worksclosely with the UI Chest Pain Center in the rapid assessment ofpatients presenting to the ETC with non-specific chest pain. Themusculoskeletal CT/MR rotation provides a mini-fellowship inadvanced musculoskeletal imaging including CT, MR, ultrasoundand interventional procedures.

Complementing these clinical rotations is a new Teaching Resi-dent rotation. Residents selected for this elective rotation arerelieved of their non-call clinical duties for 4 weeks and insteadbecome the primary classroom teacher for the required medicalstudent radiology clerkship. Under the supervision of the direc-tor for medical student teaching, the residents provide lectures,small group teaching, and individual mentoring to the 8 studentsin each rotation. To date, this program has met with great suc-cess with very positive feedback from both the students, whoenjoy the individualized teaching, and the residents, who get tofocus on re-learning and communicating what they know. Addi-tionally, the residents work on the organization and communica-tion skills that will be so important in their future roles as radiol-ogy consultants. We are looking to integrate this program withour radiology technologist training program and have the teach-ing residents provide instruction there as well.

We continue to emphasize the research training aspect of ourprogram and have refined our research curriculum, integrating itacross the four years of the residency. Beginning with a series oflectures on the basics of research design and technique in thefirst year, the program builds through a defined mentorship path-way through to the completion of a research project and submis-sion to a peer reviewed journal or scientific meeting. Addition-ally, the annual presentation of the resident’s research projects

is expected later this year. We have recently begun refining ourtechniques for CT perfusion and employ this modality forsuspected vasospasm in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoidhemorrhage with the expected use in many acute stroke patients.Our CTA volume steadily increases as more and more noninvasivevascular angiography is the norm. We have recently acquirednew software on our independent workstations that enables usto perform improved 3-D post processing. Our referring physi-cians are now able to view their patients’ studies on their owncomputers and on computers situated in all clinics throughoutthe hospital within minutes of study completion. We strive tooffer state-of-the-art imaging services to our clinical colleagues.

We continue to advance medicine through discovery and dis-semination of new ideas. Over the past five years, members ofthe Neuroradiology Division have presented 108 invited lectures,refresher courses, or proffered papers at a variety of national andinternational meetings. Members of the division have authoredor co-authored 112 scientific or educational exhibits, many ofwhich received awards, incuding: Bronze Medal (ARRS); SilverMedal (ASHNR); First, Second, and Third place awards(ASHNR); 2 Summa Cum Laude Awards (ASNR); 8 Magna CumLaude Awards (ASNR and RSNA); 18 Cum Laude Awards (ASNRand RSNA); and 11 Certificates of Merit (RSNA). Two yearsago, Dr. Toshio Moritani’s book, “Diffusion-Weighted MR Im-aging of the Brain” was published and last year he completedtranslation of his book into Japanese. In the past five years,members of the division have also authored or co-authored 75peer-reviewed scientific papers.

It is clear that, during the past five years, the NeuroradiologyDivision has seen tremendous growth in faculty (including fel-lows), equipment, volume of studies, and scientific productivity.We look forward to continued growth and new horizons in thenext five years!

will be incorporated into the Iowa Radiological Society annualmeeting beginning in the fall of 2007. A new position, Director ofResident Research, has been established that will oversee theintegrated 4-year curriculum and report to the residency direc-tor.

Finally, in an effort to offer medical students more exposure tothe practice of radiology, we are beginning Radiology Externshipfor Medical Students. In this program, the student will be on-callwith the senior radiology resident and carry the on-call pager.Working with the resident, they will develop a better under-standing of the practice of radiology as well as the skills oftriaging patients and allocating resources. This program will alsoallow for additional learning opportunities for both the residentsand students as they interact throughout the call.

Radiology is one of the fastest growing areas in medicine.Through constant evaluation and innovative curricula, we willensure that our educational programs keep pace.
