Abstract

Both pheochromocytomas and neuroblastomas can now be identified and located with a high level of accuracy. Scintigraphy with MIBG has become an indispensable diagnostic method for defining the extent and location of many if not most pheochromocytomas. To define the stage, to document the course and to evaluate the response to therapies in patients with neuroblastoma, imaging with MIBG is now essential.
