Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is an analog of norepinephrine and is taken up selectively by the adrenal medulla, the sympathetic autonomic nervous system, and tumors derived from these tissues. The provider performs a bone scan (also known as scintigraphy), a specialized nuclear medicine procedure in which the provider injects a radionuclide prior to imaging to examine multiple areas of the skeleton and/or to diagnose bone disease. You will be given a time to return to the Nuclear Medicine Department 2-3 hours after the injection.
