The Whole-Body PET Scan with 18F-DOPA is an advanced molecular imaging technique used primarily to evaluate neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, medullary thyroid carcinoma, and certain neurological and movement disorders such as Parkinsonian syndromes.
18F-DOPA (Fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine) is a radiotracer that mimics a natural amino acid involved in dopamine synthesis. Tumour cells—especially neuroendocrine and catecholamine-producing tumours—show increased uptake of 18F-DOPA, making this scan highly sensitive for identifying lesions that may not be visible on CT, MRI, or other PET tracers.
This comprehensive package includes a whole-body 18F-DOPA PET/CT performed by experienced nuclear medicine specialists using high-resolution PET-CT scanners. The scan provides detailed metabolic and anatomical images, enabling accurate detection, staging, treatment monitoring, and recurrence assessment.
18F-DOPA PET is considered a highly reliable and specialised imaging tool for detecting neuroendocrine tumours and differentiating various neurological conditions due to its excellent tumour-to-background contrast.
