Clinical experience with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanine scintigraphy in pediatric neuroblastoma: complementary roles in follow-up of patients
PURPOSE To evaluate the potential utility of (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanine ((123)I-MIBG) scintigraphy and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) for the detection of primary and metastatic lesions in pediatric neuroblastoma (NBL) patients, and to determine whether (18)F-FDG PET is as beneficial as (123)I-MIBG imaging. METHODS We selected 8 NBL patients with sig...
