Functional imaging in phaeochromocytoma and neuroblastoma with 68Ga-DOTA-Tyr3-octreotide positron emission tomography and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine: a clarification
2011
Purpose
68Ga-DOTA-Tyr3-octreotide positron emission tomography (68Ga-DOTA-TOC PET) has proven to be superior to 111In-DTPA-D-Phe1-octreotide (111In-octreotide) planar scintigraphy and SPECT imaging in neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Because of these promising results, we compared the accuracy of 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) imaging with PET in the diagnosis and staging of metastatic phaeochromocytoma and neuroblastoma, referring to radiological imaging as reference standard.
