Myocardial scintigraphy with 123 I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and thallium-201 (
201 TI) was performed in 29 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using whole-…

There is increasing evidence that cell death after myocardial ischemia and reperfusion may
begin as apoptosis rather than necrosis. To determine the time course, location, and extent …

RESULTS Figure 1shows the serial changes of the distribution of@ mTc-SQ3O2l7in four
transaxial slices. The first row acquired from 0 to 1 mm had artifacts caused by the rapidly …

Whole-body distribution of iodine 123 metaiodobenzylguanidine ( 123 I-mIBG) was evaluated
in 27 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). At 1 and 4 h after injection, …

Background To determine whether mild to moderate ischemia that is not severe enough to
induce myocardial infarction will cause myocardial cell damage or apoptosis, the 99m Tc-…

In myocardial scintigraphy, simultaneous injection of two radionuclides and dual energy
acquisition are potentially useful in the assessment of regional perfusion and metabolism. The …

Regional uptake of iodine- 125-metaiodobenzylguanidine ([ 125 I]MIBG) was evaluated in
normal (n=12) and reserpinized (n=12) rat hearts. At 15 min and 1, 3 and 6 h after injection of [ …

A continuous ventricular function monitor with a miniature cadmium telluride detector was
evaluated and applied to patients with coronary bypass surgery (CABG). Ejection fraction (EF) …

The new method was designed to obtain CO with"'" Tc-labeled myocardial perfusion
imaging agents, such as sestamibi and tetrofosmin, using first-pass data and SPECT …

Single-photon emission computed tomography was performed in 29 patients with
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG). Segmental …
