Dynamic planar scintigraphy for the rapid kinetic measurement of myocardial 123I-MIBG turnover can identify Lewy body disease

Abstract Background Using two static scans for 123I-meta-iodobenzyl-guanidine (123I-MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy ignores the dynamic response from vesicular trapping in nerve terminals. Moreover, the long pause between scans is impractical for patients with Lewy body diseases (LBDs). Here, we optim...
