Occurrence of giant focal forms of congenital hyperinsulinism with incorrect visualization by ¹⁸F <scp>DOPA</scp>‐<scp>PET</scp>/<scp>CT</scp> scanning

Abstract

Our data show that in most patients with focal CHI (18) F DOPA-PET/CT correctly predicts the size and anatomical localisation of the lesion. However, in those patients with a 'giant focal' lesion (18) F DOPA-PET/CT is unreliable for correct identification of 'giant focus' cases.
