Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor in pediatric patients. Despite the established role of 123I-MIBG and 131I-MIBG scintigraphy in this tumor, only limited data are available regarding the use of 124I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT). We present our preliminary experience with 124I-MIBG PET/CT: two pediatric patients affected by neuroblastoma, who underwent 124I-MIBG PET/CT for pre-therapy distribution evaluation and restaging purposes. We aimed to evaluate whether 124I-MIBG PET/CT can detect as many or more neuroblastoma lesions than 123I/131I-MIBG imaging. Our cases show promising results, although further validation and standardization of 124I-MIBG PET/CT are required.
神经母细胞瘤是儿科患者中最常见的颅外实体瘤。尽管123I-间碘苄胍(MIBG)和131I-MIBG闪烁扫描在该肿瘤中已确立作用,但关于124I-间碘苄胍(MIBG)正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/计算机断层扫描(CT)的应用数据有限。我们介绍了我们使用124I-MIBG PET/CT的初步经验:两名患有神经母细胞瘤的儿科患者接受了124I-MIBG PET/CT检查,以进行治疗前分布评估和再分期。我们旨在评估124I-MIBG PET/CT是否能比123I/131I-MIBG成像检测到更多的神经母细胞瘤病灶。我们的病例显示出有希望的结果,尽管124I-MIBG PET/CT还需要进一步验证和标准化。
