Iobenguane (131I), also known as 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I-MIBG), is a radiopharmaceutical agent used primarily for diagnostic imaging and treatment of certain types of neuroendocrine tumors, such as pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma. It is labeled with radioactive iodine-131 and selectively taken up by adrenergic tissue. 131I-MIBG is currently approved for therapeutic use in metastatic or relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma.
