This study was designed to review the diagnostic performance of myocardial innervation imaging using iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy in differential diagnosis between dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and other dementias. ⋯ Myocardial innervation imaging with MIBG scintigraphy demonstrated high pooled sensitivity and specificity in patients with suspected DLB. MIBG scintigraphy is an accurate test for differential diagnosis between DLB and other dementias.
