Prospective head-to-head comparison of cardiac [18F]-MFBG PET versus [123I]-MIBG SPECT in the differentiation between Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy and between dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer’s disease. KU Leuven
The present study will be sponsored by the KU Leuven with Koen Van Laere, Prof MD PhD DSc, as its principal investigator. The purpose is a prospective head-to-head comparison of [18F]-MFBG cardiac innervation in the differential diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy Bodies, compared to cardiac innervation measured by [123I]-MIBG cardiac imaging and brain dopamine transporter availability measured by [18F]-PE2I PE.
