Topic: Nuclear medicine imaging and treatment in pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, and role of the new tracer 11C-hydroxy ephedrine (11C-HED) in diabetes mellitus

Learning points:
1. The role of 11C-HED PET/CT as a problem-solving tool in the diagnosis of primary Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma (PCC/PGL)
2. Outlining the favourable outcome in patients with PCC/PGL treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE
3. Non-invasive imaging of the pancreatic sympathetic nervous system in type 2 diabetes mellitus and future applications.
