This study validates the diagnostic accuracy of 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy for differentiating Lewy body diseases (LBDs) from similar conditions using autopsy as the gold standard. The findings indicate that the early and delayed heart-to-mediastinum ratios, along with washout rates, demonstrate significant sensitivity and specificity in identifying LBDs. However, normal scintigraphy results do not exclude the possibility of LBD pathology, particularly in the presence of other biomarkers suggesting c
