A new molecular imaging technique that pairs a novel tracer with a next-generation PET/CT scanner can identify neuroblastoma in children with high sensitivity, requiring a scan time of only minutes and no sedation or anesthesia. With its ability to accurately diagnose neuroblastoma, this technique, known as 18F-MFBG LAFOV PET/CT, has the potential to impact therapeutic decision-making for children with this disease.
