Diagnostic Value of 123I-Betamethyl-p-Iodophenyl-Pentadecanoic Acid (BMIPP) Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) in Patients With Chest Pain-Comparison With Rest-Stress 99mTc-Tetrofosmin SPECT and Coronary Angiography-

Midventricular Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy on 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 123I-BMIPP SPECT

Sensitivity and Specificity of Dual-Isotope 99mTc-Tetrofosmin and 123I Sodium Iodide Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) in Hyperparathyroidism

PURPOSE Despite recommendations for 99mTc-tetrofosmin dual tracer imaging for hyperparathyroidism in current guidelines, no report was published on dual-isotope 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 123I sodium iodide single-photon-emission-computed-tomography (SPECT). We evaluated diagnostic accuracy and the impact of preoperative SPECT on the surgical procedures and disease outcomes. METHODS Analysis of 70...

123I‐BMIPP single‐photon emission computed tomography for diagnosing chest pain in patients with nonobstructive coronary angiograms: Takotsubo or vasospasm?

The decreased 123I-BMIPP uptake, while having normal perfusion, in the correspondent coronary artery territory is caused by a delayed metabolic recovery after the recovery of perfusion. This phenomenon termed ischemic memory can clearly differentiate vasospastic angina from other chest pain syndromes.

[Diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of unstable angina pectoris using ECG-gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 99mTc-tetrofosmin].

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to the diagnostic accuracy and the value as prognostic predictors based on the perfusion and/or functional analysis using the QGS program on 99mTc-tetrofosmin gated SPECT (Tf-QGS-SPECT) in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) who admitted to the CCU. METHODS Fifty seven consecutive patients (37 males and 20 females, mean age: 62 +/- 7 years) with s...
