In the past, neuroblastoma patients frequently had mIBG and diagnostic CT scans performed at separate times. This practice sometimes caused issues in correlating findings from the two imaging modalities. A retrospective review of our entire experience aimed to confirm the added value of optimized co-registered contrast-enhanced diagnostic CT to I-123 mIBG SPECT/CT protocol in children with neuroblastoma. An additional objective was to identify if SPECT/CT improved Curie score assignment vs planar imaging. Read More

The purpose of this exhibit is explore pitfalls in our experience with SPECT-CT Iodine-123 (I-123) MIBG imaging in patients with neuroblastoma. SPECT-CT can more specifically localize areas of uptake over planar imaging and mitigate false-positive results with correlative anatomic information. We will review cases of false-positive MIBG uptake in nonmalignant sites, cases of false-negative MIBG uptake in neuroblastoma/neural crest tumors, and cases of secondary tumors/malignancies occurring in the setting of known neuroblastoma, with variable uptake on MIBG.
