The use of 123 I-mIBG has been approved for decades for Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis and as a predictor of mortality and potentially fatal events in patients with Heart Failure (HF). The standardized technique includes an early acquisition (15 minutes from injection), and a late acquisition (240 minutes) Early images mainly represent interstitial uptake, whereas delayed images represent actual neuronal uptake, however, it is reasonable to affirm that different pathological situations, such as PD and HF, imply a different meaning for early and late imaging.

Abstract
The use of 123 I-mIBG has been approved for decades for Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosis and as a predictor of mortality and potentially fatal events in patients with Heart Failure (HF). The standardized technique includes an early acquisition (15 minutes from injection), and a late acquisition (240 minutes) Early images mainly represent interstitial uptake, whereas delayed images represent actual neuronal uptake, however, it is reasonable to affirm that different pathological situations, such as PD and HF, imply a different meaning for early and late imaging.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
