چکیده

Myocardial imaging with thallium 201 has proven to be an important clinical procedure to assess the severity of the myocardial ischemic insult. Uptake of 201Tl is related to perfusion to and extraction by intact myocardium. Recently, a newer group of agents based on 99mTc alkyl isonitriles has been developed and appears promising for myocardial imaging. Although the distribution of this new agent has been shown to be related to myocardial perfusion, its dependence on myocardial integrity has not been established. This study compared the distribution of 99mTc-2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) with that of 201Tl in a clinically relevant canine model of ischemic insult. Fifteen adult dogs underwent 2 hours of occlusion by left anterior descending coronary artery ligation followed by reperfusion. In one group of dogs, 201Tl and 99mTc-MIBI were administered 5 minutes before 35 minutes of reflow (group 1, n = 5). In the other animals, the agents were given 5 minutes after onset of reflow, and dogs were killed after 10 (group 2, n = 5) and 35 minutes of reperfusion (group 3, n = 5). 99mTc-MIBI activity was significantly correlated with 201Tl activity (r = 0.91, 0.77, and 0.92, for groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively). Both 201Tl and 99mTc-MIBI activities were correlated similarly with blood flow in all models. In groups 1 and 2, 201Tl and 99mTc-MIBI activities correlated directly with microsphere-determined blood flow, whereas in group 3, they correlated inversely. The present study shows that in these models of myocardial ischemic insult, 99mTc-MIBI distribution is closely related to that of 201Tl.

Evaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics

Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria.  Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...

Tracing ischemic memory by metabolic pathways: BMIPP and beyond

Myocardial ischemia (MI) resulting in infarction is an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Acute ischaemia rapidly impairs myocardial contractile function. Myocardial dysfunction persisting for several hours after transient non-lethal ischaemia, eventually resulting in full functional recovery is termed as myocardial stunning. Hibernation is now thought to be...

Evaluating the Effect of Injected Dose of 99mTc- MIBI on the Quantitative Parameters of Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Background: 99mTc-MIBI cardiac perfusion scanning is recognized as a clinically useful method in evaluating coronary artery disease. By the implementation of new imaging techniques and systems, it seems possible to obtain high-quality images with a lower dose of radiopharmaceuticals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of injection dose of 99mTc-MIBI on quantitative parameters ...

The value of the Gated 99mTc-MIBI SPECT in differentiation of fixed myocardial lesions [Persian]

Fixed myocardial defects in both stress and rest images, could be artifactual as a result of soft tissue attenuation. To increase specificity and identify the false positive results, we used gated technique to evaluate the wall motion and wall thickening as an index to differentiate real ischemic lesions from artifactual defects. 93 patients were studied. In 46 patients (48.8%) fixed perf...

The value of myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc-99m MIBI for the prediction of perfusion improvement after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty

  Introduction: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. Lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. Introduction of a noninvasive metho...
