BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE (123)I cardiac meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), an analogue of norepinephrine, has been used to estimate myocardial sympathetic nerve function. We investigate whether cardiac-MIBG SPECT is clinically applicable in the differentiation of Parkinson's disease (PD) from parkinsonian syndromes. METHODS Cardiac-MIBG scintigraphy was performed in 27 controls, in 40 patients wi...
Iodine-123-MIBG (123I-MIBG) scintigraphy were performed for 23 patients with neuroblastoma at diagnosis. The intensity of MIBG activity in the primary tumor was evaluated visually (grade 3; intense uptake-grade 0; no definite uptake), and its relationship to the size, degree of tumor spread, urinary catecholamine metabolites (VMA, HVA), and histological types were investigated. The results of 1...
BACKGROUND Prior studies have demonstrated that acute ischemic injury causes sympathetic neuronal damage exceeding the area of necrosis. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that sympathetic neuronal damage measured by (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging would be determined by the area of ischemia as reflected by area at risk in patients undergoing reperfusion therapy for ...
OBJECTIVES We investigated the relationship between iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) findings and myocardial contractile reserve in patients with mild to moderate dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). BACKGROUND Little is known regarding the relationship between cardiac sympathetic nervous function and myocardial contractile reserve in DCM. METHODS Twenty-four DCM patients who showed ...
BACKGROUND Chemotherapy with anthracyclines and trastuzumab can cause cardiotoxicity. Alteration of cardiac adrenergic function assessed by metaiodobenzylguanidine labeled with iodine-123 (123I-mIBG) seems to precede the drop in left ventricular ejection fraction. OBJECTIVE To evaluate and to compare the presence of cardiovascular abnormalities among patients with breast cancer undergoing che...
131I-MIBG therapy for neuroendocrine tumours may be dose limited. The common range of applied cumulative activities is 10-40 GBq. We report the uneventful cumulative administration of 111 GBq (= 3 Ci) 131I-MIBG in a patient with metastatic paraganglioma. Ten courses of 131I-MIBG therapy were given within six years, accomplishing symptomatic, hormonal and tumour responses with no serious adverse...
Subjects Individual datasets from 6 prospective MIBG cohort studies performed in Japan between 1990 and 2009 were combined to make a pooled database of 1,322 chronic HF patients, as previously reported.4 Patients with HF from 6 Japanese medical institutions provided data for this study. All patients were enrolled in prospective observational studies, in which MIBG was approved for clinical use ...
Purpose: The norepinephrine transporter (NET) is a critical regulator of catecholamine uptake in normal physiology and is expressed in neuroendocrine tumors like neuroblastoma. Although the norepinephrine analog, meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), is an established substrate for NET, I/I-MIBG has several clinical limitations for diagnostic imaging. In the current studies, we evaluated meta-[F]-fl...
UNLABELLED Iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine ([123I]MIBG) has been used to evaluate the cardiac sympathetic nervous system, particularly that of the left heart. To clarify whether the right ventricular (RV) sympathetic neuronal function could be evaluated by [123I]MIBG myocardial imaging, we applied the technique in patients with pulmonary hypertension that was associated with either chronic p...
Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), a noradrenaline analogue,labelled with radioactive iodine I-123 is used for assessing pre-synaptic activity of the myocardial adrenergic system. The paper describes the mechanism of myocardial I-123-MIBG uptake and the relevant examination methods. It also refers to the necessity of standardising acquisition methods and assessment criteria in order to improve com...
