Overview
Other imaging studies for neuroblastoma include nuclear medicine studies such as fludeoxyglucose-18F positron emission tomography scan (18F-FDG) and metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) scintigraphy.[1]
Other Imaging Findings
Nuclear medicine
- Nuclear medicine studies used for diagnosis of neuroblastoma include fludeoxyglucose-18F positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) and metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) scintigraphy.[1]
- 18F-FDG PET scan may distinguish stage 1 and 2 neuroblastoma from other differential diagnosis.
- 123I-MIBG scintigraphy may distinguish stage 3 and 4 neuroblastoma from other differential diagnosis.
- 123I-MIBG scintigraphy is superior than 18F-FDG PET scan in detecting bone marrow metastases.
