Brief Summary: The goal of this single centre pilot study is to explore whether 18F-fluoro-ethyl-tyrosine PET FET-PET yields comparable findings to 11C-methionine PET Met-PET for the localisation of pituitary tumours
Detailed Description: Up to 20 patients with pituitary adenomas PA who have previously undergone 11C-methionine PET Met-PET as part of routine clinical care will undergo 18F-fluoroethyltyrosine PET FET-PET Patients with newly diagnosed PA or residualrecurrent pituitary tumours following previous treatment will be eligible for recruitment to the study
Quantitative and qualitative analyses will be performed to assess whether MET-PET and FET-PET yield comparable findings in patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent PA
