The <sup>123</sup>I-labeled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is an analogue of noradrenaline that can evaluate cardiac sympathetic activity in scintigraphy. Quantitative analysis of <sup>123</sup>I-MIBG images has been verified in patients with heart failure and neurodegenerative diseases. However, quantitative results differ due to variations in scintigraphic imaging procedures. Here, we created and assessed the clinical feasibility of a calibration method for <sup>123</sup>I-MIBG imaging. The c ...[more]
