Correlation of the Genotype of Paragangliomas and Pheochromocytomas with Their Metabolic Phenotype on 3,4-Dihydroxy-6-¹⁸F-Fluoro-l-Phenylalanin PET

Abstract

(18)F-DOPA PET is a sensitive and specific imaging modality for the detection and staging of pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas in different genotypes, including VHL-, SDHB-, and SDHD-mutation carriers, and in patients with no germline mutation.
