I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a new radiopharmaceutical with properties that allow the characterization of the sympathetic innervation of several organ systems. In this study, we used MIBG with tomographic imaging to evaluate noninvasively the differences in myocardial sympathetic innervation in 14 healthy volunteers and 16 patients with severe dilated cardiomyopathy (CM). Initial (15...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic value of metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging in childhood cardiomyopathy. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS 40 children (21 boys, 19 girls; mean (SD) age, 7.0 (5.6) years) with heart failure resulting from idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 23) or various other disorders (n = 17). METHODS At the initia...
Objective(s): High-risk neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer with poorprognosis despite modern multimodality therapy. Internal radiotherapy using131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is effective for treating the disease even if it isresistant to chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacyof 131I-MIBG radiotherapy combined with myeloablative high-dose chemotherapyand...
(131)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) has been used as a therapeutic agent for pheochromocytoma. Tumor localization and precise staging are essential for therapy with high-dose (131)I-MIBG. The sites and extent of (123)I-MIBG uptake are usually estimated to predict the effectiveness of therapy before administration. However, conventional scintigraphic images provide insufficient anatomic inform...
Meta-iodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) has been radiolabelled at the no-carrier-added level with [124I] for a proof of concept study to assess the diagnostic accuracy of [124I]mIBG PET/CT in detecting metastatic deposits in patients diagnosed with metastatic neuroblastoma. Radiolabelling of mIBG was achieved via the iododesilylation reaction between [124I]sodium iodide and meta-trimethylsilylbenzylgua...
BACKGROUND Increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system contributes significantly to the pathophysiology of heart failure. However, cardiac efferent sympathetic function has not been well characterized in this disorder. In this study, we evaluated cardiac sympathetic innervation using [123I]metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and compared this with left ventricular (LV) tissue norepinephrine...
(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...
Neuroblastoma, which derives from neural crest, is the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood. The tumors express the norepinephrine (NE) transporters on their cell membrane and take in metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) via a NE transporter. Since iodine-131 (I-131) MIBG therapy was firstly reported, many trails of MIBG therapy in patients with neuroblastoma were performed. Though mono...
To assess the feasibility of noninvasively imaging the regional distribution of myocardial sympathetic innervation, we evaluated the distribution of sympathetic nerve endings, using 123I metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), and compared this with the distribution of myocardial perfusion, using 201Tl. Twenty dogs were studied: 11 after regional denervation, and nine as controls. Regional denervation ...
Phase III clinical study was performed to evaluate clinical utility of 123I-MIBG in the localization of tumors in 48 patients with tumors of sympathetic and adrenomedullary origin, diagnosed or strongly suspected. Sixteen patients had pheochromocytoma, 23 had neuroblastoma, 7 had medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, and 2 had Sipple syndrome. In 3 out of 48 patients, 123I-MIBG scintigraphy was p...
