The effects of molar activity on [18F]FDOPA uptake in patients with neuroendocrine tumors

Abstract Background 6-[18F]fluoro-l-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl alanine ([18F]FDOPA) is a commonly used PET tracer for the detection and staging of neuroendocrine tumors. In neuroendocrine tumors, [18F]FDOPA is decarboxylated to [18F]dopamine via the enzyme amino acid decarboxylase (AADC), leading to increa...
