Adrenal tracer uptake by 18F-FDOPA PET/CT in patients with pheochromocytoma and controls.

CONCLUSIONS: 18F-FDOPA PET/CT distinguishes pheochromocytoma from normal adrenal glands with the highest diagnostic accuracy when combining the SUVmax of the affected adrenal gland with the difference in SUVmax between affected and normal adrenal gland.
