Abstract
both pheochromocytomas and neuroblastomas can now be identified and located with a high level of accuracy. Scintigraphy with MIBG has become an indisp ensable diagnostic method for defining the extent and location of many if n ot most pheochromocytomas, To define the stage, to document the course and to evaluate the response to therapies in patients with neuroblastoma, imagi ng with MIBG is now essential.
