Abstract
The aim of this procedure guideline is the standardization of I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy, F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose, F-18 fluoropheniylalanine, Ga-68 DOTA peptide positron emission tomography/computerized tomography imaging protochols in pediatric neuroblastoma patients.
Keywords: Neuroblastoma, pediatrics, I-123 MIBG scintigraphy, F-18 FDG, F-18 DOPA, Ga-68 Ga-68 DOTA peptide
