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: ++roll d20
gollark: In that case, I want to summon *half*-cryoapioforms, which should be twice as easy.
gollark: Great!
gollark: Too bad.
gollark: ++roll d20
