Diagnostic Imaging: mIBG Scans
Diagnostic imaging was performed with either 123I-mIBG
or 131I-mIBG scanning techniques (Figure
1C) .8,17 For thyroid protection, supersaturated
potassium iodide was given 16-24 hours before the diagnostic mIBG dose,
and several days post-imaging, per institutional guidelines.123I-mIBG or 131I-mIBG planar
images, with or without single photon emission tomography (SPECT), were
acquired using protocol recommended guidelines.8,17
