Cesium-129 is concentrated in the myocardium after intravenous administration permitting
myocardial imaging. The dosage used was 2-2.5 mCi in dogs and 3-4 mCi in patients. Four …

Specific radioindicators are sequestered by acute myocardial infarctions, and their uptake is
detectable by external detection systems, such as the Anger scintillation camera. The …

One of the most eminent cardiothoracic surgeons of India, Profulla Kumar Sen (1915-1982)
had a keen interest in research and in the subsequent clinical application of knowledge …

A plethora of radiochemicals and radiopharmaceuticals have been evaluated over the last
two decades for assessing cardiac function and myocardial tissue viability and integrity …

Radionuclides are introduced in inorganic and organic molecules in order to trace these
molecules in tissues and organs for diagnostic purposes. Few of them are intended for a …

Detection of acute myocardial infarction as an area of increased activity has intrigued
investigators for some time. Initial attempts with 203 Hg-chlormerodrin and 203 Hg …

The selective uptake of radiopharmaceuticals by acutely infarcted myocardium (acute
myocardial infarct scintigraphy) has emerged in recent years as an independent …

In infarct avid scintigraphy, radiopharmaceuticals are sequestered by acutely infarcted
myocardium, resulting in regions of increased myocardial uptake. This procedure has …

The major value of hot-spot imaging of the myocardium is its ability to define areas of
necrosis rather than areas of diminished blood flow or cellular function. Applications of hot …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Chemical reagents. Commercial sources were used for
fluorescein, 4', 5'-diiodofluorescein(IL> F), and 2', 7'-dibromofluorescein (Br-F), and for the …
