Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: 18F-FDOPA illustrates the properties of uptake and storage of catecholamines in pheochromocytomas (PHEOs). Until now, the relationship between 18F-FDOPA quantitative parameters and a PHEO secretory profile has not been specifically evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-six patients (56% females, median age: 47.5 yrs) with non-metastatic PHEO, evaluated by 18F-FDOPA PET/CT, were included in this...
