New scan could pinpoint hidden cause of Life-Threatening low blood sugar

NCT ID NCT05088798

Summary

This study is testing if a special PET/MRI scan can better find the exact spot in the pancreas that is causing hyperinsulinism, a condition of dangerously low blood sugar. The scan is for patients whose medications have failed and who need surgery, which can be curative if the right spot is found. Researchers will see if this scan is more accurate than current methods at locating these small, hard-to-find areas before an operation.
