Altropane is a radiopharmaceutical used in medical imaging, specifically in nuclear medicine. It contains the radioactive isotope iodine-123 and is primarily utilized for the diagnosis of certain conditions such as neuroendocrine tumors and for imaging the sympathetic nervous system. Altropane is often administered as an injectable solution and helps in the evaluation of conditions like Parkinson's disease by providing detailed images of the brain's receptors.
