Modern nuclear imaging for paragangliomas: beyond SPECT.

Abstract excerpt

Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that may arise anywhere along the paraganglial system, with a high frequency of hereditary forms or multifocal disease. Most often, paragangliomas are benign and progress slowly, but metastases may occur in about 10% of patients.
