Abstract:
We describe a case of olfactory neuroblastoma diagnosed by 99mTc-ECD SPECT. Although MRI and CT are very important for delineating these tumors, they are, by no means, specific for neuroblastomas. 131I-MIBG scintigraphy, the standard method for imaging tumors of neural crest origin, also failed to detect a histologically proven esthesioneuroblastoma.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
