The imaging of insulinomas using a radionuclide-labelled molecule of the GLP-1 analogue liraglutide: a new application of liraglutide.

OBJECTIVE: This study explores a new, non-invasive imaging method for the specific diagnosis of insulinoma by providing an initial investigation of the use of 125I-labelled molecules of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue liraglutide for in vivo and in vitro small-animal SPECT/CT (single-ph...
