“…The images also showed a high 11 C-hydroxytryptophan uptake in the kidney, which can be ascribed to renal excretion of the radiopharmaceutical. These results are in agreement with previous publications (10). Figure 4B shows a typical PET image of the abdomen in a clorgyline-treated rat.…”

“…Different subtypes of NETs can develop in almost all organs and tissues, anywhere in the human body [1,2]. Carcinoid tumors are the subtype of NETs, accounting for less than 1% of all malignancies [2]. The majority of carcinoids arise in the gastroenteropancreatic and bronchopulmonary system [3].…”

“…Because the physical half-life of 18 F is 110 min, PET recordings show the total radioactivity concentration in living tissue, irrespective of any biotransformation of the tracer (9). In neuroendocrine tumors, the increased transport and AADC activity result in intracellular retention of metabolized 18 F-FDOPA and positive signals on PET images (10,11). In neuroblastic tumors, the neuroblastic cells also possess AADC activity (12) and, thus, theoretically can also be imaged by 18 F-FDOPA PET.…”
