MIBG Scans. (A) Curie and (B) SIOPEN scoring systems for MIBG scans. A 10-year-old male patient with a history of left lumbar region neuroblastoma. Anterior and posterior whole body 131I-MIBG scan shows MIBG-avid primary lesion in the left retroperitoneum region (arrow) with tracer avid skeletal lesion in the mid-shaft of the right femur (solid arrow). This patient has a single focus of skeletal uptake in a single segment and > 50% involvement of two of the abdominal segments; thus, Curie and SIPOEN scoring will be 7.
