Myocardial iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) imaging in Brugada syndrome.
(I-MIBG) Imaging in Brugada Syndrome To the Editor: We read with interest a recent article in Circulation by Wichter et al1 on cardiac autonomic dysfunction in Brugada syndrome. The authors demonstrated that regionally reduced iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-MIBG) uptake in the inferior and septal left ventricular wall was present in 8 (47%) of 17 patients with Brugada syndrome but in non...
متن کاملCardiac autonomic neuropathy in the diabetic patient: does 123I-MIBG imaging have a role to play in early diagnosis?
OBJECTIVES In diabetes, extended adrenergic receptor stimulation with hyperglycemia and insulin deficiency is associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction. Clinically evident diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is associated with a poor prognosis. Research studies indicate that autonomic function tests, which are traditionally used to diagnose diabetic CAN, are less sensitive than (123...
متن کاملPrediction of long-term cardiac events by 123I-MIBG imaging after acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion therapy
Objective(s): In heart failure, the heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) ratio of the delayed image and washout rate (WR) are well-known as a powerful cardiac event predictors. H/M ratio quantifies the accumulation rate of MIBG in the myocardium and WR quantifies reduction of meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) accumulation in the heart from the early planar image to the delayed pla...
متن کامل123I-MIBG scintigraphy and 18F-FDG PET in neuroblastoma.
UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic utility of (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) scintigraphy and (18)F-FDG PET in neuroblastoma. METHODS A total of 113 paired (123)I-MIBG and (18)F-FDG PET scans in 60 patients with neuroblastoma were retrospectively reviewed. Paired scans were acquired within 14 days of each other. RESULTS For stage 1 and 2 neurobl...
متن کامل123I-Mibg scintigraphy and 18F-Fdg-Pet imaging for diagnosing neuroblastoma
BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma is an embryonic tumour of childhood that originates in the neural crest. It is the second most common extracranial malignant solid tumour of childhood.Neuroblastoma cells have the unique capacity to accumulate Iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (¹²³I-MIBG), which can be used for imaging the tumour. Moreover, ¹²³I-MIBG scintigraphy is not only important for the diagnosis...
