[18F]FB(ePEG12)12-exendin-4 noninvasive imaging of insulinoma negative for insulin immunostaining on specimen from endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration: a case... by Daisuke Otani, Takaaki Murakami, Saeko Murakami, Ikuko Hanaoka, Hiroyuki Fujimoto, Yoichi Shimizu, Kanae Kawai Miyake, Kentaro Sakaki, Yohei Ueda, Daisuke Tanaka, Tsuyoshi Ohno, Hironori Shimizu, Naoki Uyama, Norishige Iizuka, Daisuke Yabe, Yuji Nakamoto, Nobuya Inagaki

“…As surgical resection is the only curative treatment for insulinoma, preoperative localization is crucial; however, localization based on conventional imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging is often inconclusive. Somatostatin receptor-targeted imaging is another option for detecting pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms but has low sensitivity and is not specific for insulinoma. …”
