Incidental pathologic extracardiac uptake of 99mTc-tetrofosmin in myocardial perfusion imaging.

Technetium-99m-tetrofosmin ((99m)Tc-TF) myocardial perfusion studies have incidentally detected various extracardiac abnormalities. The interpretation of these findings may be essential for early diagnosis and treatment of important diseases. We present a rare case of a mediastinal thymoma incidently detected during myocardial perfusion imaging. A 60 year-old woman, with precardiac symptoms of ...

Incidental pathologic extracardiac uptake of (99m)Tc-tetrofosmin in myocardial perfusion imaging: Importance of patient background evaluation.

(99m)Tc-tetrofosmin single photon emission computed tomography ((99m)Tc-tetrofosmin SPECT) has an important role in the assessment of coronary artery disease. Despite being its main indication, this study does not only evaluate myocardial perfusion, but much more. Moreover, during the SPECT acquisition, the field area covered includes many important organs of the thorax and abdomen, so extracar...

Extracardiac tumor tracer uptake in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.

A 74-year-old man was referred to the Cardiology clinic with a 3-week history of exertional chest tightness. These episodes lasted a few seconds without any limitation to activity. The gentleman is an ex-smoker and a hypertensive on treatment. The results of the clinical examination and ECG were unremarkable. An exercise tolerance test was found to be negative, albeit at a subtarget heart rate....

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...

Myocardial imaging for mitochondrial membrane potential.

c p p r p q m Rest and stress myocardial perfusion imaging, described nearly 4 decades ago (1), is now performed in 9 million people annually in the United States (2). The procedure provides clinically useful data regardless of whether the tracer is a monovalent cation such as potassium, thallium, or rubidium; a highly diffusible agent such as O-labeled water; an amino acid precursor such as am...
