Krenning score

Purpose| grade uptake intensity of neuroendocrine tumors

The Krenning score[1] is used to grade the uptake intensity of neuroendocrine tumors on somatostatin receptor imaging such as octreotide scan.[further explanation needed] Typically, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is considered when the Krenning score is greater than 2.

## Krenning Score[edit]

Grade 1: uptake < normal liver

Grade 2: uptake = normal liver

Grade 3: uptake > normal liver

Grade 4: uptake > spleen or kidneys
