O-(2-18F-Fluoroethyl)-L-Tyrosine (18F-FET) Uptake in Insulinoma: First Results from a Xenograft Mouse Model and Human

Herein we have evaluated the uptake of O-(2-18F-Fluoroethyl)-L-Tyrosine (18F-FET) in insulinoma in comparison with those of 6-18F-fluoro-3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (18F-FDOPA) providing first data from both murine xenograft model and one patient with proved endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia.
