As observed by other authors, normal adrenal medullary tissue frequently gives an apparently positive meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scan in cases studied using 123I-MIBG and less frequently 131I-MIBG. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of a scoring system, based on different uptakes of the radiopharmaceutical, to improve the accuracy of 123I-MIBG scintigraphy in patients with ...
OBJECTIVE We assessed the value of combining (123)I-IMP brain perfusion SPECT and (123)I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy for the discrimination of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from other types of dementia. METHODS We subjected 252 consecutive patients with clinically suspected DLB to both (123)I-IMP brain perfusion SPECT and (123)I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy. Patients with Parkinson's disea...
INTRODUCTION Although aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is often complicated by myocardial injury, whether this neurogenic cardiomyopathy is associated with the modification of cardiac metabolism is unknown. This study sought to explore, by positron emission tomography/computed tomography, the presence of altered cardiac glucose metabolism after SAH. METHODS During a 16-month period, 3...
We report a case of a 29-year-old female with the family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) presenting with hematuria and tachycardia, who was found to have bilateral adrenal masses on abdominal computed tomography and biochemical testing compatible with pheochromocytoma. Iodine-123 (I-123) metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy for preoperative planning prior to planned adrenale...
PLASMA NOREPINEPHRINE CONCENTRATIONS, which increase in patients with congestive heart failure, reflect the severity of the disease and are closely related to prognosis.1 Because sympathetic activity is enhanced with increasing severity of congestive heart failure, the severity and prognosis of congestive heart failure can be evaluated based on parameters determined by I-123 metaiodobenzylguani...
Pure autonomic failure is challenging as it can be the presenting feature of a central nervous system syncleinopathy such as Parkinson's disease (PD) or multiple system atrophy (MSA). Because the prognosis of MSA and PD is so different, predictive features for a possible conversion can be extremely valuable. In this paper, we report three cases (two with autopsy-proven diagnosis) that had isola...
PURPOSE Myocardial sympathetic imaging with 123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (123I-mIBG) has gained clinical momentum. Although the need for standardization of 123I-mIBG myocardial uptake has been recognized, the availability of practical clinical standardization approaches is limited. The need for standardization includes the heart-to-mediastinum ratio (HMR) and washout rate with planar imaging, ...
We evaluated the clinical usefulness of the combined use of I-ioflupane brain single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) cardiac scintigraphy in discriminating uncertain parkinsonism with vascular lesions in striatal nuclei at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Forty-three consecutive patients with uncertain parkinsonism and vascular lesions at MRI in...
OBJECTIVE To assess the prognostic value of I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy findings, and establish the most appropriate method for calculating myocardial MIBG activity in patients with left ventricular dysfunction due to cardiomyopathy (CM). METHODS Predictors of cardiac death related to progressive heart failure (HF) were examined in 150 patients with CM (80 patients with ...
