(18)F-FDOPA PET showed high sensitivity and specificity in detecting and tracking neuroblastic tumors in this preliminary study with a small cohort of patients and might be complementary to (123)I-MIBG scintigraphy and (18)F-FDG PET. By correlating with AADC expression, (18)F-FDOPA PET might serve as a useful imaging tool for the functional assessment of neuroblastic tumors.
