123I-labelled radiopharmaceuticals 206123I-meta-iodo-benzyl-guanidine (123I-MIBG) 208β‎-methyl-p-[123I]iodo-phenyl-pentadecanoic acid (123I-BMIPP) 210Nuclear cardiology techniques offer the potential to image aspects of myocardial physiology and metabolism which are not accessible to other imaging modalities. Positron emission tomography (PET) has been extensively used in this area, but for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging the range of radiopharmaceuticals available is limited. Two radiopharmaceuticals labelled with iodine-123 (...
