title: [123I-MIBG SPECT-CT combined with gamma probe for radioguided localization of pheochromocytoma].
abstract: We report a case of a 56-year-old male with high suspicion of an intraabdominal catecholamine-producer tumor. The patient underwent different diagnostic procedures including 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) scintigraphy, with subsequent SPECT and low resolution CT for attenuation correction and anatomic and functional image fusion. After practicing a new 123I-MIBG scintigraphy the patient was taken to the operating room, where a hand-held gamma probe detector helped to localize the lesion.
