Imaging of carcinoid tumors with iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine.
Scintigraphy with 123I-radiolabeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) was performed successfully in two patients with metastatic carcinoid tumor. The scintigraphic findings show diversity of the tumor deposits in the uptake of [123I]MIBG in the same patient and between patients.
