Value of multi-parameter 123I-MIBG scintigraphy in the differential diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease
The heart H/M ratio and cardiac WR in <sup>123</sup>I-MIBG scintigraphy show high diagnostic efficacy for both diagnosing and differentiating PD. Including cardiac WR in routine assessments is recommended. The diagnostic potential of WR in the parotid and thyroid glands also holds promise for PD diagnosis. Incorporating these parameters could enhance the accuracy of PD diagnosis, particularly in clinical scenarios where concurrent cardiac disease may confound the diagnosis.
