Gut endocrine tumors are sometimes difficult to localize by radiological techniques. Carcinoids and gastrinomas, however, possess high density of somatostatin receptors, thus, scintigraphy with radiolabeled somatostatin analogs may prove useful for detection of occult gastroenteropancreatic endocrin
## Abstract ## Background and Purpose The laser‐induced thermal therapy (LITT) of cerebral tumors has conventionally been performed using Nd:YAG lasers and is associated with a risk of high focal temperatures potentially followed by cavitation that could result in boiling and/or explosive char. We
