18F-DOPA PET/CT Pancreatic Imaging. 18F-DOPA PET/CT imaging in the case described demonstrates diffuse pancreatic uptake (a-c). A coronal maximal intensity projection (MIP) image with OSEM reconstruction is shown at 30–45 min after radionucleotide injection (a) with merged coronal (b) and axial (c) PET and CT images. The previous patient with the same KCNJ11 mutation [7] demonstrated similar findings on 18F-DOPA PET-CT scanning with diffuse uptake throughout the pancreas at 44 min post-injection on both MIP and merged PET-CT coronal images (d, e)
