Abstract
Surgery with curative intent can be offered to congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) patients, provided that the lesion is focal. Radiolabeled exendin-4 specifically binds the glucagonlike peptide 1 receptor on pancreatic β-cells. In this study, we compared the performance of 18F-DOPA PET/CT, the current standard imaging method for CHI, and PET/CT with the new tracer 68Ga-NODAGA-exendin-4 in the preoperative detection of focal CHI. Methods: Nineteen...
