| Popis | The existing most common semi quantitative systems used for neuroblastoma diagnosis include Curie and SIOPEN scores, which are based on I-123-MIBG planar scans. The purpose of our study was to find out whether a statistically significant difference exists in evaluation based on planar and SPECT/CT scans. Conclusion: We recommend to perform semiquantitative evaluation of neuroblastoma based on SPECT/CT scans, particularly in patients in clinical stages 3 and 4. It is advisable to include soft tissues in the score assessment, as well, given that only soft tissues may be involved in up to 25%. |
