Few reports have presented data and results on functional (i.e., nuclear medicine) imaging of paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas (PGLs/PHEOs) for von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) patients. Nuclear medicine localization modalities for chromaffin tumors can be specific or nonspecific. Specific methods make use of the expression of the human norepinephrine transporter (hNET) and vesicular monoamine trans...

PURPOSE Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is characterized by hypophosphatemia caused by a phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor. While surgical resection of the tumor leads to a cure, identification of the responsible tumor is challenging. Recently, several studies showed that systemic sampling of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is helpful for localization of tumors. The present study aimed to eva...

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are distinctive tumors which arise from cells which have neural and hormonal origins. The most common clinically-encountered NETs are gastroenteropancreatic tumors (GEP NETs), lung carcinoids, pheochromocytoma, and medullary thyroid carcinoma. Imaging plays a key role in the evaluation of these tumors including detection, staging, response assessment, and prognostic...
