18F-DOPA PET scan in two patients with congenital hyperinsulinism

18F-DOPA PET scan in two patients with congenital hyperinsulinism
18F-DOPA PET scans in two children with congenital hyperinsulinism.
(A) 18F-DOPA PET scan showing increased tracer uptake, consistent with a focal lesion at the body tail junction (arrow).
(B) 18F-DOPA PET scan image fused with a contrast-enhanced CT, demonstrating the focal lesion in the same patient (dashed arrow).
(C) 18F-DOPA PET scan image with nonuniform tracer uptake throughout the pancreas, consistent with diffuse disease.
18F-DOPA PET: 18-fluoro-L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine positron emission tomography; CT: computed tomography.
