Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PET imaging

    Visual interpretation will be performed first by two independent readers to record if there is any abnormal 18F-FES accumulation. The presence, number, size, character, and location of suspected lesions will be filed for each patient in this study. The final results will be validated by tissue proof, correlation with other imaging, or follow-up results. Semi-quantitative analysis will be performed for each lesion suspected during visual interpretation. Standardized uptake values (SUV) will be obtained by placing regions of interest (ROIs) around the lesions that are identified on visual analysis. The maximum SUV (SUVmax) will be recorded. Volumetric parameters will be performed by placing volume of interests (VOIs) around the suspected lesions. VOIs will be generated using defined fix SUV thresholds or algorithm-generated isocontours. Manual adjustment of VOIs is allowed when non-tumoral tissue is incorrectly included by automatic method.

Study Arms (1)

18F-DOPA PET

EXPERIMENTAL

PET/CT

Drug: 18F-DOPA PET

Interventions

One hour later all patient will be injected intravenously with 185 MBq (5mCi) 18F-FDOPA. PET emission data acquisition in 3-dimensional mode will be started at 60 minutes after tracer injection for 30 minutes.
