No-carrier-added 123I-MIBG: an initial clinical study in patients with phaeochromocytoma.

abstract：:At present, it is difficult to distinguish between bacterial infections and sterile inflammatory processes using radiopharmaceuticals. This is so for a variety of reasons, including binding to bacteria with low affinity (e.g. infection) and binding to a specific micro-organism (e.g. radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies...
