<b>Technetium-99m Tetrofosmin Myocardial Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography in Syndrome X</b>

Long-term prognostic value of exercise technetium-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography

BACKGROUND Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a useful tool for short- and medium-term risk stratifications. Currently, the long-term prognostic application of this technique has not been evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS Exercise (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin was performed in 655 consecutive patients. Ten patients who underwent revascularization <60 days af...

LABORATORY INVESTIGATION SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY Quantitation of size of relative myocardial perfusion defect by single-photon emission computed tomography

The purpose of this study was to validate a semiautomatic method for quantitating the size of relative myocardial perfusion defects from single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) images. We compared the size of the image defect in vivo, expressed as percent of involved left ventricle, as determined by this method with the anatomic size of the defect in vitro in 19 dogs. To test the me...

Technetium-99m Methylene Diphosphonate Single-photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography of the Foot and Ankle

The complex anatomy and function of the foot and ankle can make it difficult to determine the cause of symptoms in patients with foot and ankle pathology. Following initial clinical and radiographic assessment, additional imaging with magnetic resonance imaging may be required, which is often seen as the modality of choice. Although sensitive to pathological changes in bone metabolism and vascu...
