Assessment of Organ Dosimetry for Planning Repeat Treatments of High-Dose 131I-MIBG Therapy: 123I-MIBG Versus Posttherapy 131I-MIBG Imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate detailed organ-based radiation-absorbed dose for planning double high-dose treatment with I-MIBG.

Methods

In a prospective study, 33 patients with high-risk refractory or recurrent neuroblastoma were treated with high-dose I-MIBG. Organ dosimetry was estimated from the first I-MIBG posttherapy imaging and from subsequent I-MIBG imaging prior to the planned second administration. Three serial whole-body scans were performed per patient 2 to 6 days after I-MIBG therapy (666 MBq/kg or 18 mCi/kg) and approximately 0.5, 24, and 48 hours after the diagnostic I-MIBG dose (370 MBq/kg or 10 mCi/1.73 m). Organ radiation doses were calculated using OLINDA. I-MIBG scan dosimetry estimations were used to predict doses for the second I-MIBG therapy and compared with I-
