About this study
This study will evaluate the feasibility of using a sub-therapeutic dose of a fluorine-18 analogue of NP-59 (\[18F\]FNP-59) to image the adrenal gland. Some participants are healthy normal subjects but have undergone interventions to manipulate hormones while other participants have known adrenal pathology.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
