Routine preoperative (123)I-MIBG scintigraphy for patients with phaeochromocytoma is not necessary.
BACKGROUND: Functional imaging using (123)I-meta-iodo-benzyl-guanetidine (MIBG) scintigraphy has alleged 100% specificity for phaeochromocytoma (PHAEO). Its benefit in patients with biochemical diagnosis of PHAEO is arguable when cross-sectional radiology can demonstrate the side-size of the adrena...
