Multicenter cross-calibration of I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine heart-to-mediastinum ratios to overcome camera-collimator variations

The heart-to-mediastinum ratio (HMR) of 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) showed variations among institutions and needs to be standardized among various scinticamera-collimator combinations. A total of 225 phantom experiments were performed in 84 institutions to calculate cross-calibration coeffi...
