Overview
123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy coupled with CT scan imaging can be used for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.
Other Imaging Findings
Other imaging studies may include[1]:
- 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy: in the case of negative CT and MRI. It resembles norepinephrine uptake by adrenergic tissues.[2]
- 111In-octreotide scintigraphy.[3]
- 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography is more sensitive than I MIBG.
- PET CT has high sensitivity for small lesions and more sensitive than I MIBG.
- Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) has high false positive results.[4]
- Image-guided needle biopsy of suspected pheochromocytoma but has many surgical complications.[5][6]
