Summary
This study is testing a special PET scan (18F-DOPA) to see if it can better detect and measure several conditions, including congenital hyperinsulinism in children, neuroblastoma, neuroendocrine tumors, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and brain tumors. About 800 children and adults will receive the scan, and researchers will measure how well it finds the smallest lesions and reduces image problems. The goal is to make this imaging tool more accurate for diagnosis.
