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.

The goal of this educational exhibit is to explore the utility of interictal FDG PET brain imaging in the evaluation of intractable, drug-resistant cases of pediatric epilepsy and to clarify its role in pre-surgical seizure focus localization. We will also explore the salient pearls and pitfalls of FDG PET brain imaging. Read More
