  • Title: Scintigraphic depiction of an insulinoma by I-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine.
    Author: Geatti O, Shapiro B, Barillari B.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1989 Dec; 14(12):903-5. PubMed ID: 2557999.
    Abstract:
    Scintigraphy with I-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) was effective in depicting a pancreatic insulinoma in a patient suffering from intermittent hypoglycemia. This observation widens the range of neuroendocrine tumors that take up to I-131 MIBG and supports the concept that many tumors of the amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation system may be imaged in this way.
