This is a prospective image revaluation study designed to assess the performance of 18F-mFBG PET imaging in detecting the presence of neuroblastoma. Eligible participants will have undergone 18F-mFBG PET imaging in a research trial or locally-authorized clinical use and have: a) an established diagnosis of active neuroblastoma; or b) an established diagnosis of neuroblastoma in remission; or c) no history or current evidence of neuroblastoma based on signs, symptoms, imaging findings, and laboratory results.
This is a study involving blinded interpretation of existing 18F-mFBG PET images. No subjects will be administered 18F-mFBG. Previously collected 18F-mFBG PET studies will be evaluated by 5 independent radiologists and/or nuclear medicine physicians. They will have access to limited clinical information on the reason subject was undergoing evaluations at the time of 18F-mFBG imaging but be blinded to all other subject information. Blinded readers will record the findings on 18F-mFBG scans judged consistent with presence of neuroblastoma and the disease status (+ or -) of the subjects. Subject-level performance of 18F-mFBG PET will be assessed on the basis of positive and negative percent agreement with presence of at least 1 lesion identified by a blinded reader confirmed as neuroblastoma on clinical standard-of-care imaging and histopathology evaluations. Region/organ system level diagnostic performance will be assessed on the basis of positive and negative percent agreement between the blinded 18F-mFBG scan interpretations and disease status in the corresponding region on clinical standard-of-care imaging and histopathology evaluations. Both assessments will utilize the clinical information gathered as part of the trials or locally-authorized clinical use in which the 18F-mFBG scans were acquired and relevant clinical follow-up available at the imaging sites.

Quantity of 18F-mFBG administered to each subject was determined based on the protocol specifications of the original trial at each participating site. No 18F-mFBG will be administered in this study.

Determine Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive and Negative Predictive Percent Agreement (PPA/NPA) of 18F-mFBG
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that 18F-mFBG PET scintigraphy (PET/CT or PET/MR) is sensitive and specific (in terms of positive and negative percent agreement (PPA and NPA) on a subject-level in confirming or excluding the presence of neuroblastoma.
Time frame: Blinded Reader review over 2-3 weeks.
PPA/NPA on a region/organ system level
To demonstrate that 18F-mFBG PET scintigraphy (PET/CT or PET/MR) is sensitive and specific (in terms of positive and negative percent agreement (PPA and NPA)) on a region/organ system level in confirming or excluding the presence of neuroblastoma.
Time frame: Blinded reader evaluation over 2-3 weeks.
