Monitoring of Brown Adipose Tissue with β3-Adrenergic Receptor Agonist Using [18F]FDG PET/CT and [ 123I]mIBG SPECT/CT
This study demonstrates that while both [18F]FDG PET/CT and [123I]mIBG SPECT/CT effectively monitor β3-adrenergic agonist-induced brown adipose tissue activation in mice, [18F]FDG PET/CT offers superior sensitivity for visualizing metabolic changes, whereas [123I]mIBG SPECT/CT provides complementary insights into sympathetic tissue responses.
