This study aimed to evaluate the performance of 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging to detect nonmetastatic extra-adrenal paragangliomas at their respective sites (abdominal vs. thoracic vs. head and neck vs. urinary bladder), and compare it with that of 99mTc-hydrazinonicotinyl-tyr3-octreotide (HYNIC-TOC) scintigraphy.
