ABSTRACT

Myocardial imaging is presently restricted by the unavailability of a suitable radiopharmaceutical. Cesium-134m, which has a 2.9 hr half-life and emits a gamma-ray of 128 keV, is easily available and appears promising for this purpose. In three dogs with induced myocardial infarctions, we could easily distinguish infarcted areas from the normal myocardium in images obtained with an Anger camera.
