Indications
- Diagnostic scintigraphic localisation of tumours originating in tissue that embryologically stems from the neural crest. These are pheochromocytomas, paragangliomas, chemodectomas and ganglioneuromas.
- Detection, staging and follow-up on therapy of neuroblastomas.
- Evaluation of the uptake of iobenguane. The sensitivity to diagnostic visualisation is different for the listed pathologic entities. Pheochromocytomas and neuroblastomas are sensitive in approx. 90% of patients, carcinoids in 70% and MCT in only 35%.
- Functional studies of the adrenal medulla (hyperplasia) and the myocardium (sympathetic innervation).
