Utility of 18FDOPA PET/MRI for Focal Hyperinsulinism
Sponsor: Washington University School of Medicine
Summary
The purpose of the study is to provide access to 18F-DOPA PET to patients at Washington University and assess the utility of 18F-DOPA PET/MRI as a preoperative tool to detect and localize focal lesions in the pancreas that are causing hyperinsulinism.

18F-Fluoro Dopa PET/MRI Imaging
The purpose of this research study is to provide access to an imaging study of the pancreas that uses 6-\[18F\]-Fluoro-L-3,4,-dihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-DOPA)positron emission tomography (PET) and assess the accuracy of this 18F-DOPA-PET/MRI test on distinguishing what part of the pancreas is affected in patients with Hyperinsulinism.
