Objectives: super(123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) has been used to estimate cardiac sympathetic nervous innervation. Heterogeneous MIBG distribution is mainly associated with high physiological MIBG uptakes in the liver. We postulate that prone position acquisition might be especially effective...
