The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic utility of 123I-
metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) scintigraphy and 18F-FDG PET in neuroblastoma …

The aim of our study was to evaluate prospectively the diagnostic performance and
prognostic significance of 18F-FDG PET/CT in comparison with 123I …

Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor in pediatric patients. Despite
the established role of 123I-MIBG and 131I-MIBG scintigraphy in this tumor, only limited data …

Neuroblastoma is an embryonic tumor of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, and is
metastatic or otherwise high risk for relapse in nearly 50% of cases, with a long-term survival …

Purpose To analyse different uptake patterns in 123 I-MIBG scintigraphy/SPECT imaging
and 18 F-FDG PET in paediatric neuroblastoma patients. Methods We compared 23 123 I …

The metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scan is one of the most sensitive noninvasive lesion
detection modalities for neuroblastoma. Unlike 123I-MIBG, 124I-MIBG allows high-resolution …

Purpose 18 F-Dopa positron emission tomography (PET)/CT has proved a valuable tool for
the assessment of neuroendocrine tumours. So far no data are available on 18 F-dopa …

Our purpose was to evaluate the diagnostic role of 18F-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)
PET/CT at the time of staging in children with neuroblastoma and to investigate its ability to …

Purpose Iodine-131-labelled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (131 I-mIBG) and lutetium-177-
labelled DOTATATE (177 Lu-DOTATATE) are used for molecular radiotherapy of metastatic …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES. Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) has been shown to be
both sensitive and highly specific for the detection of neuroblastoma. However, controversy …
