Thallium reinjection after stress-redistribution imaging. Does 24-hour delayed imaging after reinjection enhance detection of viable myocardium?
BACKGROUND Thallium reinjection immediately after conventional stress-redistribution imaging improves the detection of viable myocardium, as many myocardial regions with apparently "irreversible" thallium defects on standard 3-4-hour redistribution images manifest enhanced thallium uptake after reinjection. Because the 10-minute period between reinjection and imaging may be too short, the prese...
متن کاملThallium-201 for assessment of myocardial viability: quantitative comparison of 24-hour redistribution imaging with imaging after reinjection at rest.
Redistribution thallium-201 imaging 2 to 4 h after exercise may be incomplete and therefore may be inadequate to fully assess myocardial variability. Late redistribution imaging 24 h after exercise has been proposed to overcome this limitation of thallium stress imaging. However, because of poor count density the image quality on these studies is often suboptimal. In the present study the diagn...

متن کاملDifferential uptake and apparent 201Tl washout after thallium reinjection. Options regarding early redistribution imaging before reinjection or late redistribution imaging after reinjection.
BACKGROUND Because thallium reinjection enhances the identification of viable myocardium, many laboratories have adopted the routine practice of performing reinjection imaging instead of 3-4-hour redistribution imaging. This approach assumes that the stress-reinjection protocol provides the necessary information regarding both exercise-induced ischemia and myocardial viability. Because apparent...
