A MIBG (Meta-Iodobenzylguanidine) scan is a type of nuclear medicine test used to diagnose and localize cardiac conditions such as heart disease, pheochromocytoma, and neuroblastoma. It involves the injection of a small amount of radioactive MIBG tracer into the patient's bloodstream, followed by repeated imaging using a gamma camera to detect the distribution of the tracer in the body. The resulting images can help identify areas of increased or decreased radionuclide uptake, indicating possible damage or abnormalities.
