Metaiodobenzyl guanidine (MIBG) is a derivative of guanethidine and acts as an analogue of nor-epinephrine and is widely used in the imaging of tumors of neuro-endocrine origin. Iodine-123 MIBG has ideal imaging characteristics but is expensive with limited availability. Iodine-131 MIBG is widely used in India and is cheap. Hybrid single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computerized tomography (CT) allows for anatomico-functional imaging and is being tried in MIBG studies. However, the experience with I-131 MIBG is limited. We present a pictorial assay of I-131 MIBG SPECT/CT findings in various MIBG avid tumors.
间碘苄胍(MIBG)是胍乙啶的衍生物,可作为去甲肾上腺素的类似物,广泛用于神经内分泌起源肿瘤的成像。碘-123 MIBG具有理想的成像特性,但价格昂贵且供应有限。碘-131 MIBG在印度被广泛使用且价格便宜。杂交单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)/计算机断层扫描(CT)可进行解剖功能成像,目前正在MIBG研究中试用。然而,碘-131 MIBG的经验有限。我们展示了碘-131 MIBG SPECT/CT在各种摄取MIBG的肿瘤中的图像分析结果。
