Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor imaging for localization of insulinomas.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
November 2009
Article Synopsis
- The study tested a new imaging method using a specific radiolabeled GLP-1R agonist to help locate insulinomas, which are tumors causing hypoglycemia.
- All six patients in the trial had their insulinomas successfully identified with this new technique, specifically detecting four cases that conventional methods missed.
- This GLP-1R imaging shows promise as a noninvasive tool to better diagnose and assist in the surgical removal of insulinomas.
