Feasibility of [(123)I]-meta-iodobenzylguanidine dynamic 3-D kinetic analysis in vivo using a CZT ultrafast camera: preliminary results.

Purpose: No data are yet available in the literature concerning 3-D [(123)I]-meta-iodobenzylguanidine ([(123)I]-MIBG) kinetics in vivo. In this study we investigated the feasibility of dynamic 3-D [(123)I]-MIBG kinetic analysis using a CZT ultrafast camera.

Methods: The study group comprised 16 patients consecutively scheduled for [(123)I]-MIBG cardiac scintigraphy for clinical purpose who were studied using a CZT camera (NM530c, GE).
