Carbon-l l-hydroxyephedrine (HED) is a radiotracer de veloped to image the sympathetic
nervous system (13). HED is more polar than MIBG and bears closer structural similarity to …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of carbon 11 (11C) hydroxyephedrine (HED) positron
emission tomography (PET) in the detection of pheochromocytomas. MATERIALS AND …

The 11C-labeled tracer meta-hydroxyephedrine (11C-HED) is a noradrenaline analog that

Many imaging methods can be used to detect pheochromocytoma, but some tumors are not
detected with conventional modalities. To explore the possible usefulness of positron …

Pheochromocytoma is a rare but clinically important tumor of catecholamine‐secreting
chromaffin cells. This tumor constitutes a surgically curable cause of hypertension …

We used a new radiopharmaceutical agent,[131I] meta-iodobenzylguanidine ([131I] MIBG),
to produce scintigraphic images of pheochromocytomas in eight patients. One day or more …

Purpose In detecting pheochromocytoma (PHEO), positron emission tomography (PET) with
the radiolabelled amine precursor 18 F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine (18 F-DOPA) offers …

The purpose of the study was to assess the diagnostic utility of 6-[18F]-fluorodopamine
([18F]-DA) positron emission tomography scanning (PET) vs.[131I] …

We compared functional imaging modalities including PET with 6-18F-fluorodopamine (18F-
DA) with 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) and somatostatin receptor …
