Myocardial perfusion imaging with 201Tl.

چکیده
The object of this review is to provide information about (201)Tl-thallous chloride in radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging. This technique has experienced a recent resurgence because of the shortage of (99m)Tc. After reading this article, the technologist will be able to describe the properties and uptake mechanism of (201)Tl, the procedure for myocardial perfusion imaging with this agent, and the advantages and disadvantages of thallium, compared with the technetium agents.

Performance of myocardial perfusion imaging using multi-focus fan beam collimator with resolution recovery reconstruction in a comparison with conventional SPECT
Objective: IQSPECT is an advanced high-speed SPECT modality for performing myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), which uses a multi-focus fan beam collimator with resolution recovery reconstruction. The aim of this study was to compare IQSPECT compared with conventional SPECT interms of performance based on standard clinical protocols. In addition, we examined the concordance between convention...
متن کاملCompensation of Cross-Contamination in Simultaneous 201Tl/99mTc Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging
Introduction: It is a common protocol to use 201Tl for the rest and 99mTc for the stress cardiac SPECT imaging. Theoretically, both types of imaging may be performed simultaneously using different energy windows for each radionuclide. However, a potential limitation is the cross-contamination of scattered photons from 99mTc and collimator X-rays into the 201Tl energy window. We used a middle en...
متن کاملQuantitative rotational tomography with 201Tl and 99mTc 2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile. A direct comparison in normal individuals and patients with coronary artery disease.
We tested the hypothesis that 99mTc 2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (99mTc MIBI), a new radiopharmaceutical for myocardial perfusion imaging, provides accurate noninvasive detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). Imaging in patients after exercise and at rest with 99mTc MIBI was compared with imaging after exercise and redistribution with 201Tl in 12 normal subjects and 38 patients with angiog...
متن کاملRelations of the myocardial imaging agents 99mTc-MIBI and 201T1 to myocardial blood flow in a canine model of myocardial ischemic insult.
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 age...
متن کاملAssessment of myocardial viability in patients with myocardial infarction using twenty-four hour thallium-201 late redistribution imaging.
BACKGROUND Rest thallium-201 (201Tl) myocardial perfusion imaging has been widely used for evaluation of myocardial ischemia/viability after myocardial infarction, but the ideal timing for imaging after injection to maximally estimate viability is not well established. METHODS Thirty-six patients with myocardial infarction underwent the initial, 3 h, and 24 h redistribution imaging after intr...
متن کاملDetection of the viable myocardium. A perfusion scintigraphic study, before and after coronary bypass surgery in myocardial infarction patients.
OBJECTIVE To compare single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging scans using 201Tl and 99mTc-MIBI in detection of viable myocardium, in regions compromised by infarction. METHODS Thirty-two (59.3 +/- 9.8 years old and 87% male) myocardial infarction patients were studied. All had Q waves on the ECG and left ventricle ejection fraction of < 50%. They underwent coronary and left ...
