Radiolabeled exendin-4 specifically binds the glucagonlike peptide 1 receptor on pancreatic beta-cells. In this study, we compared the performance of F-18-DOPA PET/CT, the current standard imaging method for CHI, and PET/CT with the new tracer Ga-68-NODAGA-exendin-4 in the preoperative detection of focal CHI. Methods: Nineteen CHI patients underwent both F-18-DOPA PET/CT a...
