Iobenguane sulfate I-123 is a radiopharmaceutical used in gamma-scintigraphy of adrenergically inervated tissues [FDA Label].
- Mechanism
- Curator reviewed
Iobenguane I-123 is transported into adrenergic nerve terminals via the noradrenaline uptake transporter. It is rapidly cleared from systemic circulation and collected in adrenergically invervated tissues. This allows for gamma-scintigraphic imaging of these tissues and their associated organs for diagnostic purposes.
