The Whole-Body PET Scan with 18F-DOPA is an advanced nuclear imaging study designed to evaluate neuroendocrine tumours, movement disorders, and disorders of dopamine metabolism. Using 18F-DOPA, a specialised radiotracer that closely mimics natural dopamine pathways, this scan provides highly sensitive detection of abnormal metabolic activity throughout the body.
This imaging technique is particularly effective for identifying and staging neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), assessing recurrent or metastatic disease, and evaluating functional abnormalities in conditions such as Parkinson’s disease. It helps clinicians visualise dopamine synthesis and distribution, providing diagnostic clarity when other imaging modalities, such as CT, MRI, or standard PET scans, are inconclusive.
The Whole-Body 18F-DOPA PET scan delivers precise metabolic mapping, helping physicians localise lesions, guide treatment plans, monitor therapy response, and detect early disease progression. Non-invasive and scientifically robust, this diagnostic package supports endocrinologists, neurologists, oncologists, and nuclear medicine specialists in providing accurate and personalised patient care.

It is a specialised nuclear imaging scan that uses the radiotracer 18F-DOPA to detect abnormal metabolic activity, particularly in neuroendocrine tumors and dopamine-related disorders.
18F-DOPA mimics natural dopamine pathways, making it highly effective for identifying neuroendocrine tumors and evaluating diseases involving dopamine dysfunction, such as Parkinsonism.
It is commonly used for detecting neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, medullary thyroid cancer, and assessing dopaminergic system disorders.
After intravenous injection of 18F-DOPA, you will rest while the tracer is absorbed. A PET/CT scanner then captures detailed images of metabolic activity throughout the body.
The entire process typically takes 2–3 hours, including radiotracer uptake time and imaging.
Yes. It involves a low, clinically safe dose of radiation. The radiotracer naturally clears from the body within hours.
Fasting is usually recommended for a few hours before the procedure to improve image accuracy. Your doctor or imaging centre will give specific instructions.
Yes. Whole-body imaging allows early detection of metastatic spread and helps evaluate the extent and activity of disease.
You may need to stop certain medications temporarily, especially if they interfere with dopamine metabolism. Your physician will guide you based on your condition.
A nuclear medicine specialist typically provides a detailed report within 24–48 hours, depending on the facility.
