DOPA-PET/CT can alter therapy for neuroendocrine tumors
By Wayne Forrest
Swiss researchers have found that combined fluorine-18 dihydroxyphenylalanine (F-18 DOPA) contrast-enhanced PET/CT is "significantly superior" to DOPA-PET and contrast-enhanced CT in detecting neuroendocrine tumors.

FDG-PET distinguishes Parkinson's from other disorders
By Wayne Forrest
With the help of FDG-PET, researchers in New York have developed an automated image-based classification procedure to differentiate patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease from those with other brain diseases such as multiple system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy.
