False Positive Radioiodinated Metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) Uptake in Undifferentiated Adrenal Malignant Tumor
(123)I-Metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) scintigraphy is a widely used functional imaging tool with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. However, rare cases of false positive reactions have been reported. A 67-year-old male patient was admitted with epigastric pain. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a heterogeneous left adrenal mass 6 cm i...
متن کاملMyocardial 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 کاملMetaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake in Parkinson's disease also decreases at thyroid.
BACKGROUND Decreased cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) uptake was reported in Parkinson's disease and this contributes to the differential diagnosis between Parkinson's disease and other forms of parkinsonism such as multiple system atrophy. However, decreased MIBG uptake of the thyroid has not been demonstrated. OBJECTIVE To compare MIBG uptake of the thyroid among Parkinson's disease, ...
متن کاملImpaired lung 123I-MIBG uptake on SPECT in pulmonary emphysema.
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to evaluate impaired lung uptake of (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) on SPECT, compared with perfusion SPECT and morphologic CT, in patients with pulmonary emphysema (PE). METHODS (123)I-MIBG SPECT was performed at 15 min and 4 h after intravenous injection of (123)I-MIBG in 36 PE patients with a history of smoking and variable-extent low-atten...
متن کاملPulmonary Endothelial Impairment During Gefitinib Therapy: A Preliminary Assessment with Iodine-123-Metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I- MIBG) Scintigraphy
Iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine ( 123 I-MIBG) kinetics in the lung could serve as a novel diagnostic tool to evaluate endothelial damage. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been reported as a serious adverse effect. This study was performed to examine the possibility that gefitinib induces...
