Krenning score
The Krenning score[1] is used to grade the uptake intensity of neuroendocrine tumors on somatostatin receptor imaging such as octreotide scan. Typically, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is considered when the Krenning score is greater than 2.
| Krenning score | |
|---|---|
| Purpose | grade uptake intensity of neuroendocrine tumors |
Krenning Score
Grade 1: uptake < normal liver
Grade 2: uptake = normal liver
Grade 3: uptake > normal liver
Grade 4: uptake > spleen or kidneys
gollark: Pseudoluacode.
gollark: And `== true`.
gollark: I am offended by your use of lua to explain.
gollark: Unless I missed one.
gollark: There are only two public ones.
