OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the myocardial retention of technetium-99m (Tc-99m) sestamibi and thallium-201 over a wide range of blood flow at different time points after tracer injection. BACKGROUND Technetium-99m sestamibi has been proposed as a new perfusion tracer with better physical characteristics than those of thallium-201 for scintigraphic imaging. However, no stud...
In a previous communication9 three examples of an unmistakable syndrome due to thallium intoxication were reported, and the damaging effect of thallium upon the optic nerves was stressed. The therapeutic uses as well as distressing toxic sequellae were reviewed, together with the history of the metal. The disorder is characterized by temporary loss of hair, peripheral neuritis, nervousness, and...
Background—Both radionuclide perfusion tracers and contractile response to dobutamine have been used to identify hibernating myocardium. The aim was to compare Tl (thallium) single photon emission CT (SPECT), Tctetrofosmin (tetrofosmin) SPECT, and dobutamine cine MRI for identifying regions of reversible myocardial dysfunction. Methods and Results—Thirty patients with 3-vessel coronary artery d...
BACKGROUND Thallium-201 myocardial perfusion image (MPI) is commonly used to detect coronary artery disease in patients with chest pain. Although a normal thallium-201 MPI result is generally considered to be a good prognosis and further coronary angiogram is not recommended, there are still a few patients who suffer from unexpected acute coronary events. The aim of this study was to investigat...
BACKGROUND 99mTc-sestamibi and thallium imaging have similar accuracy when used for diagnostic purposes, but whether sestamibi provides accurate information regarding myocardial viability in patients with chronic coronary artery disease has not been established. Since there is minimal redistribution of sestamibi over time, it may overestimate nonviable myocardium in patients with left ventricul...
The goal of this study was to determine the prognostic utility of the exercise thallium201 stress test in ambulatory patients with chest pain who were also referred for cardiac catheterization. Accordingly, 4 to 8 year (mean ± 1SD, 4.6 + 2.6 years) follow-up data were obtained for all but one of 383 patients who underwent both exercise thallium-201 stress testing and cardiac catheterization fro...
