Abstract

<p indent=0mm>The diagnosis and surgical treatment of insulinoma is dependent on accurate localization with imaging modalities. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor imaging that targets pancreatic β cells, was recently established for localization of insulinoma in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. It has proven to be a sensitive and specific method for preoperative localization of insulinoma. This review introduces the development, clinical research, and perspective of GLP-1 receptor imaging mainly in insulinoma.
