The potential for early diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension using lung iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) uptake: A case report

The potential for early diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension using lung iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) uptake: A case report

Previous reports have found evidence that the lung uptake of iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) represents pulmonary vascular endothelial function. Therefore, it was believed that the reduced lung uptake of 123I-MIBG in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension may indicate poor pulmon...
