Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the diagnostic role and clinical efficacy of investigational FET-PET/MRI in detecting MRI-occult primary or residual/recurrent functional pituitary adenomas (PAs) and its influence on clinical and surgical decisions.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients 18 to 75 years of age with biochemically proven CD, Acromegaly, or tumor hyperprolactinemia as per current Endocrinology guidelines.
  • Clinical DCE-MRI protocol that is negative or equivocal for identifiable tumor.
  • Patient willing to have surgery if lesion found, or already scheduled for surgery and lesion identification would be helpful.
  • Able to provide informed consent and be capable of completing the imaging protocols.
  • Female subjects of childbearing potential (women of childbearing potential [WOCBP]) must have a negative urine pregnancy test ≤48 hours prior to the 18F-FET injection.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients with contraindications to MRI or PET scans.
  • Patients with known allergies to contrast agents or other imaging-related materials.
  • Patients with severe medical conditions that preclude participation in the study (e.g. inability to lie supine for 30-60 minutes).
  • Patients with successful MRI localization of the adenoma.
