[ 1 ] - Development of an 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine Myocardial Three-Dimensional Quantification Method for the Diagnosis of Lewy Body Disease

Objective(s): We recently developed a new uptake index method for 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) heart uptake measurements by using planar images (radioisotope angiography and planar image) for the diagnosis of Lewy body disease (LBD), including Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies(DLB). However, the diagnostic accuracy of the uptake index was approximately equal to ...
