The drug is administered intravenously in the patient's position "lying" or "sitting". Mandatory preliminary blockade of the thyroid gland by lugol 2 drops 2 times a day for 3 days before the study and 2 days after. To exclude allergies to iodine Before the test, a skin test should be performed with an alcohol solution of iodine applied to the skin of the back surface of the forearm. Redness in place of the application indicates the presence of allergies to iodine.
Recommended single doses: adults and children - 4 MBq / kg body weight.
Given the high adhesiveness of iodine-123, which causes the concentrated preparation to adhere to the endothelium of the walls of blood vessels, it is recommended to dilute the drug in a vial with saline solution of sodium chloride (up to 10.0 ml).For the same reason, it is not recommended to administer the drug to the central venous catheters. The drug should be administered slowly (for at least 5 minutes). As the diagnostic equipment, a gamma camera is used, planar or rotary (SREST), with a round (not less than 400 mm in diameter) or a rectangular crystal.
Scintigraphy of the myocardium is carried out in 20-30 minutes and 4 hours after intravenous administration of the drug in the planar or rotational modes.
Visualization of the adrenal glands and the entire body is performed 24 hours after intravenous administration of the drug.
Normally, the whole body is visualized as a shadow. Increased accumulation of the drug is observed in salivary glands, in the heart, in the liver, in the bladder; poor accumulation in the intestine; the skeleton is not visualized.
The visualization of the thyroid gland is carried out 10 minutes after the administration of the drug on the gamma camera in the patient's position "lying on the back" according to the standard procedure. The presence of a radiologist during intravenous administration of the drug "MIBG, 123I"The patient is strictly required.
