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
