Potential of (99m)Tc-MIBI SPECT imaging for evaluating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis induced by methionine-choline-deficient diet in mice

BACKGROUND: Hepatic mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in pathological conditions leading to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Technetium-99 m-2-methoxyisobutyl-isonitrile ((99m)Tc-MIBI), a lipophilic cationic myocardial perfusion agent, is retained in the mitochondria depending on me...
