Determination of the Heart-to-Mediastinum Ratio of 123I-MIBG Uptake Using Dual-Isotope (123I-MIBG/99mTc-Tetrofosmin) Multipinhole Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride SPECT in Patients with Heart Failure

Conclusion: This study demonstrated that determination of the late HMR of cardiac 123I-MIBG uptake using dual-isotope (123I and 99mTc) acquisition on a multipinhole CZT camera was feasible in patients with heart failure. However, this determination should be performed using transaxial reconstructed images and linear correction based on phantom data acquisitions.
