Non-invasive imaging of sympathetic innervation of the pancreas in individuals with type 2 diabetes

Conclusions/interpretationWe demonstrate the feasibility of using11C-HED-PET for non-invasive assessment of pancreatic sympathetic innervation in humans. These findings warrant further prospective evaluation, especially in individuals with theoretical defects in pancreatic sympathetic innervation, such as those with type 1 diabetes.Graphical Abstract
