First seen Mar 21, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a special PET scan using [18F]FET can better find tiny pituitary tumors that cause Cushing's disease, compared to standard MRI. About 20 adults with Cushing's disease will get the scan before surgery. If successful, it could help surgeons remove the right tumor and reduce the need for invasive tests.
