68Ga-DOTA-Exendine Whole-Body PET-CT at Molecular Diagnostic
₹30000
The 68Ga-DOTA-Exendine Whole-Body PET-CT is an emerging scan that physicians utilise to scan the body, looking to detect tumours and abnormal cells. It is a hybrid between PET and CT imaging, providing both metabolic and anatomical information in the same test. The 68Ga-DOTA-Exendine tracer is used to localise the target tissues in the body through binding to receptors. This scan is performed in Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, whereby a high-level PET-CT machine is being applied to assist the doctors in making a proper diagnosis as recommended by the doctor who referred the patient.
Why This Test Is Recommended?
The scan is advised when the whole-body imaging is to be carried out, with details to enable accurate diagnostic observation. Physicians can recommend this test in the following cases:
- Detection and localisation of specific tumours
- Whole-body assessment to evaluate disease distribution
- Identification of abnormal receptor expression
- Clarification of findings when conventional imaging is inconclusive
- Follow-up evaluation as part of ongoing diagnostic monitoring
The scan helps clinicians gain a clearer understanding of disease presence and extent.
Key Diagnostic Benefits
The 68Ga-DOTA-Exendine Whole-Body PET-CT offers several important diagnostic advantages:
- High sensitivity for detecting abnormal cellular activity
- Whole-body evaluation in a single imaging session
- Clear visualisation of disease extent and distribution
- Improved diagnostic confidence for clinicians
- Useful correlation with other imaging modalities, such as CT or MRI
This scan is significant in complicated diagnostic processes in which detailed imaging is needed.
Safety and Comfort
The scan is done using controlled variables of radiotracer on the standard safety measures. Qualified supervision of patients is provided. The operation is not surgical and is well-tolerated. Any special safety guidelines which have been given by the diagnostic team should be observed strictly.
Report and Result Timeline
- Scan reports are generally available within 24–48 hours
- Reports include detailed imaging observations and findings
- Digital reports may be provided for patient convenience
- Results are intended to be reviewed by the referring doctor for further clinical interpretation

Test information: Fasting: 2-4 hours
Reporting: Within 2 hours*
- Fasting for 2 - 4 hours and stoppage of some interfering medicines may be required. Please speak with referring doctor if applicable.
- Please carry all medical documents, including doctor referral, previous PET-CT reports with CD for comparison, report of any CT, MRI and blood reports etc.
- Please carry a Serum creatinine blood report.
- If you are allergic to contrast media, pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform staff before the test.
- Always try to reach 15 minutes before the appointment time as the radiopharmaceutical (tracer) used for 68Ga-DOTA-Exendine PET-CT has a short half-life and any delay may cause a decay tracer, and you may be rescheduled for another day.
- Please carry identification proof such as an Aadhar card, pan card etc.
