Baseline Pancreatic Beta Cell Imaging After Pancreatic Transplantation Using Whole-Body 68Ga-DOTA-Exendin-4 PET/CT A Spectrum of 2 Cases of Diabetes Mellitus

摘要

Whole pancreatic transplant and islet cells transplantation are currently available strategies aiming toward diabetes cure. Beta cell specific noninvasive functional imaging using novel PET radiotracers are now available and can be used for beta cell imaging and quantification. Herein we describe a spectrum of 2 cases demonstrating beta cell targeted imaging using Ga-68-DOTA-exendin-4 PET/CT in patients with diabetes after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation.
