Comparative Study
Diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in paediatric neuroblastoma: comparison with 131I-MIBG scintigraphy.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) in paediatric patients with neuroblastoma (NB) and compare the results with iodine-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG) scintigraphy. ⋯ 18F-FDG PET/CT shows high accuracy in paediatric patients with NB and demonstrates more lesions as compared with 131I-MIBG scintigraphy.
