Objectives: Patients with metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG)-avid relapsed or refractory neuroblastoma after initial therapy may exhibit transient responses to salvage treatment with iodine-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine ( I-MIBG). It is unclear whether disease progression following I-MIBG treatment occurs in previously involved versus new anatomic sites of disease. Understanding this pattern of relapse will inform the use of consolidation therapy following I-MIBG administration.

Considerable confusion exists among the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging user community as to how to determine whether a patient with a metal implanted device can be safely imaged in an MR imaging unit. Although there has been progress by the device manufacturers in specifying device behavior in a magnetic field, and some MR imaging manufacturers provide maps of the "spatial gradients," there remains significant confusion because of the lack of standardized terminology and reporting guidelines. The American College of Radiology, through its Subcommittee on MR Safety, has proposed standardized terminology that will contribute to greater safety and understanding for screening metal implants and/or devices prior to MR imaging.
