Introduction: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the most common cause of persistent hypoglycaemia in infants and children. Histologically there are two subgroups, diffuse and focal. Fluorine-18-L dihydroxyphenylalanine positron emission tomography (18F-DOPA PET/CT) helps to differentiate focal from diffuse CHI.Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the feasibility of using 18F-DOPA PET/CT for the diagnosis of focal or diffuse CHI u...

Introduction: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) includes two major histological subtypes; diffuse and focal. Fluorine-18-L dihydroxyphenylalanine positron emission tomography (18F-DOPA PET/CT) has been established as a novel imagining technique to differentiate focal from diffuse CHI. However CT provides only limited soft tissue contrast and exposes the patient to a significant radiation dose. PET/MRI could provide images with an excellent soft tissue contrast, very ...
