Exploring the Potential for 18F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine (18F-FET) to Enable Wider Access to Molecular Imaging for Patients With Pituitary Adenomas (FET-pit-PET Study)
Overview
The goal of this single centre pilot study is to explore whether 18F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine PET (FET-PET) yields comparable findings to 11C-methionine PET (Met-PET) for the localisation of pituitary tumours.
