Commentary on a study on the diagnostic utility of FDG PET and I-123-MIBG scintigraphy in the imaging of neuroblastoma, published August 2009 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

The MIBG tracer has been available in both Europe and North America for years. In the United States it goes by the name of AdreView. It is indicated for the detection of tumors of the adrenal gland, ...

Purpose Radioiodinated metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-mIBG) scintigraphy is an established imaging method in neuroblastoma. Semiquantitative scoring systems have been developed to assess the extent of ...

Narula noted that 123 I-mIBG scintigraphy is used in the US for oncology, but the agent is not yet approved for imaging in cardiology. 123 I-mIBG is approved for cardiac imaging in Europe and ...

In PD, cardiac sympathetic denervation detected by 123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy is associated with the presence of Lewy bodies. Conversely, ...

This research is published in the The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.. Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, with an overall survival of 70%. For decades, 123 I-MIBG ...
