Affected individuals are also at risk from a wider spectrum of tumours, which includes thymic and bronchial carcinoids, and adrenal cortical tumours. MEN1 results from germline mutation of the MEN1 gene, which encodes the tumour suppressor protein Menin. The absence of a g...

Functional imaging in endocrine disease is now being increasingly used as an aid in the management of challenging cases, where conventional imaging techniques are inadequate/inconclusive. This talk will provide an overview of available nuclide imaging techniques and specifically focus on the use of 11C-Methionine PET in pituitary and 11C-Metomidate PET in adrenal tumours.11C-Methionine PET in pituitary disease</p...
