What is a MIBG Scan Test in Delhi ?

What is MIBG Scan?

A MIBG scan uses a small amount of a radioactive drug called MIBG to see how certain nerve-related and hormone-producing cells take up that tracer. It shows where neuroendocrine cells or sympathetic nerves are active in the body.

What does MIBG Scan show?

This is important because many tumors of the adrenal glands and related nerves concentrate MIBG. Doctors use the scan to find, stage, and follow tumors such as pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, and neuroblastoma. It can also show nerve activity in the heart. Results help guide surgery, targeted radiotherapy, and ongoing monitoring of disease or treatment response.

What symptoms suggest MIBG Scan may be needed?

A doctor may recommend MIBG Scan when a patient reports localised pain, swelling, or injury, a lump or restricted movement, or an abnormal finding on an earlier test that needs to be examined directly. Sample collection for Delhi is available at labs and at home across Paschim Vihar, Shahdara, and surrounding neighbourhoods.

How is MIBG Scan done?

No needle or sample is involved. At an accredited imaging centre serving Paschim Vihar and Shahdara, Delhi, a radiographer performs the scan, which is painless and usually completed within 10 to 15 minutes. A qualified radiologist interprets the images and issues a report you can access on GetVisit. (Home collection does not apply to imaging.)

How accurate is MIBG Scan?

GetVisit partners only with accredited imaging centres in and around Paschim Vihar, Shahdara, and Delhi that use maintained, calibrated equipment and qualified radiographers. Every scan is interpreted by a qualified radiologist, and reports are accepted by hospital networks, specialists, and insurers across India.

Are there any risks to MIBG Scan?

Imaging is safe and non-invasive. Ultrasound and MRI use no ionising radiation; X-ray and CT use carefully controlled low doses justified by the diagnostic benefit. Inform staff at the Paschim Vihar or Shahdara, Delhi centre if you are pregnant or have implants or metal devices, so precautions can be taken.

Did you know?

A typical MIBG scan involves injection of a radioactive tracer followed by one or more imaging sessions.

MIBG Scan Test Preparation in Delhi

Fasting and dietary instructions:

Most imaging scans need no fasting. Some abdominal ultrasounds require a few hours of fasting or a full bladder, so follow the specific instruction shown when you book, or ask the centre.

Medication guidance:

Continue your regular medication unless told otherwise. Tell the centre if you have diabetes, kidney problems, or allergies, especially if a contrast study is planned.

What to bring:

Bring your doctor's referral, a valid photo ID, your insurance card if using cashless OPD, and any previous scans or reports so the radiologist can compare.

Timing:

Book a slot that suits you at an accredited GetVisit centre in Malviya Nagar or Dilshad Garden, Delhi. Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners, and remove jewellery before the scan.

Why Take a MIBG Scan Test in Delhi ?

When does a doctor order MIBG Scan?

MIBG Scan is a nuclear medicine imaging study often ordered when neuroendocrine tumors are suspected. It is used when symptoms like unexplained high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, headaches, or an abdominal mass appear, and when doctors need to locate, stage, or follow tumors such as pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, or neuroblastoma.

Who should get MIBG Scan done in Delhi?

Delhi's 30+ million population, India's most severe urban air pollution, one of the country's highest combined diabetes and cardiovascular disease burdens, extreme seasonal temperature range (from 3°C in January to 48°C in May), and monsoon infection risk across Dwarka, Rohini, Shahdara, and Uttam Nagar make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential part of health management for all city residents. Those who benefit most from MIBG Scan include patients needing structural assessment that bloodwork cannot provide, and anyone under surveillance for a previously detected abnormality in Delhi.

What can MIBG Scan help detect?

Abnormal results come from tumor uptake or from interfering medications and prior iodine exposure. A family history of inherited neuroendocrine tumors may make this scan especially important.

What do MIBG Scan results mean?

An imaging report describes what the scan shows and whether it is normal or reveals a specific finding. A qualified radiologist interprets the images, and your doctor explains what any finding means for you and whether a further test or treatment is needed. The FAQs below cover what this scan can and cannot show.

How often should MIBG Scan be repeated?

For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends , typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.

What happens after MIBG Scan results are ready?

Reports arrive digitally and remain in your GetVisit history, so repeat tests can be tracked over months and years. Review anything unexpected with your doctor before changing medication or lifestyle, and use the app to book a follow-up if needed.

What is the full form of MIBG scan for pheochromocytoma?plus

MIBG stands for metaiodobenzylguanidine. An MIBG scan (iodine-123 or iodine-131 metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy) is a nuclear medicine imaging test in which a radioiodinated tracer resembling norepinephrine is injected and taken up by adrenergic tissue. It is used to detect and localize pheochromocytomas and related neuroendocrine tumors and to evaluate for multifocal or metastatic disease.

How long does a MIBG scan take?plus

A typical MIBG scan involves injection of a radioactive tracer followed by one or more imaging sessions. Each session usually takes about 30–60 minutes, but you’ll have waiting periods after injection. Many centers obtain images at several timepoints (e.g. immediate/4–6 hours and delayed at ~24–48 hours), so the whole process can span several hours up to one or two days.

How much does a MIBG scan cost?plus

Costs vary widely. In the United States an MIBG scan typically ranges from about $1,000 to $5,000 (depending on hospital, radiotracer and insurance). In the UK it’s covered by the NHS but private scans can run several hundred to ~£1,200. In India prices generally range roughly ₹5,000–₹30,000. Final cost depends on location, tracer (I‑123 vs I‑131), and facility fees.

What types of tumors does MIBG detect?plus

MIBG (metaiodobenzylguanidine) imaging detects tumors of sympathetic neuroendocrine origin: neuroblastoma (common in children), pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma, and can localize metastatic disease. It may also identify some other NETs with catecholamine uptake such as certain carcinoid or medullary thyroid carcinomas, though sensitivity varies; uptake depends on tumor norepinephrine transporter expression. It's used for staging and therapy selection.

How should I prepare for MIBG Scan?plus

Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners and remove jewellery before MIBG Scan. Bring your referral, ID, and any earlier scans so the radiologist can compare.

Do I need to fast before MIBG Scan?plus

Most scans need no fasting, but some abdominal ultrasounds require a few hours without food or a full bladder. Follow the specific instruction shown when you book MIBG Scan, or check with the centre.
