Increased participation in habitual physical activity is associated with higher BAT activity. Moreover, individuals with normal BMI demonstrate higher BAT activity compared to overweight and obese individuals. Finally, age is inversely linked with BAT activity, while women demonstrate higher BAT activity than men.

The FDG-PET/CT scan plays an important role in restaging breast cancer patients with rising tumor markers and negative or equivocal findings in conventional imaging techniques, with a consequent significant clinical impact on further management in these patients.

123I-MIBG cardiac uptake decreases in a doxorubicin dose-dependent way, indicating a cardiac adrenergic neurotoxic effect of doxorubicin. This phenomenon appears early and generally before deterioration of the ejection fraction.

Stimulation from the apex of the right ventricle leads to regional disturbances of the adrenergic innervation of the left ventricular myocardium, as assessed by I(123)-MIBG activity.
