Abstract
Somatostatin peptides bearing at least one chelating group for a detectable element, said chelating group being linked to an amino group of said peptide, and said amino group having no significant binding affinity for somatostatin receptors, in free or salt form, are complexed with a detectable element and are useful as a pharmaceutical, e.g. a radiopharmaceutical for in vivo imaging of somatostatin receptor positive tumors or for therapy.
