Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Single centre prospective cohort phase III study of 18F-DOPA PET/CT imaging in specific patient populations:

1. Pediatric patients with congenital hyperinsulinism
2. Pediatric patients with neuroblastoma
3. Pediatric or Adult patients with suspected extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor
4. Adult patients with a clinical suspicion of Parkinson's disease
5. Pediatric or Adult patients with primary brain tumors

This study will evaluate the biodistribution and safety of 18F-DOPA produced at the Edmonton PET Centre.
