Fluorodopa (18F), also known as FDOPA, is a fluorinated form of L-DOPA primarily synthesized as its fluorine-18 isotopologue for use as a radiotracer in positron emission tomography (PET).

The most common side effects are injection site pain.

Medical uses

Fluorodopa (18F) is indicated for use in positron emission tomography (PET) to visualize dopaminergic nerve terminals in the striatum for the evaluation of adults with suspected Parkinsonian syndromes.

History

In October 2019, Fluorodopa (18F) was approved in the United States for the visual detection of certain nerve cells in adults with suspected Parkinsonian syndromes.

The US Food and Drug Administration approved Fluorodopa F 18 based on evidence from one clinical trial of 56 participants with suspected Parkinsonian syndromes. The trial was conducted at one clinical site in the United States.
