Clinical Nuclear Cardiology—now in its fourth edition—covers the tremendous clinical
growth in this field, focusing on new instrumentation and techniques. Drs. Barry L. Zaret and …

99mTc labeled myocardial perfusion tracers have significantly advanced the field of
noninvasive diagnostic evaluation and risk stratification of patients with known or suspected …

The advent of myocardial perfusion imaging 30 years ago was a major landmark, which
heralded the emergence of the field of nuclear cardiology into clinical practice. Over the …

Important kinetic features of any radiotracer include (1) the first-pass myocardial extraction,
which relates to the ability of a radiotracer to track flow in a linear fashion,(2) myocardial …

This chapter reviews the radiopharmaceutical chemistry of technetium related to the
synthesis of perfusion agents and to the labeling of receptor-binding biomolecules. To …

The goal of this investigation was to assess the accuracy of 7′-Z-[125I] iodorotenone (125I-
iodorotenone) as a new deposited myocardial flow tracer and compare the results with those …

INTRODUCTION The existence among the second row transition metals of the element with
atomic number 43 was predicted by Mendeleev in 1869 and first discovered by Perrier and …

Abstract Currently, thallium-201 (201 Tl)-and technetium-99m (99m Tc)-labeled tracers are
used interchangeably for the detection of coronary artery disease, the assessment of …

Background—The myocardial uptake of 99mTc-sestamibi is attenuated by dobutamine
stress, resulting in underestimation of ischemia. N-Ethyl-N-ethoxy-dithiocarbamato-N-99mTc …

Background—Bis [N-ethoxy, N-ethyl (dithiocarbamato)] nitrido Tc (V)(TcN-NOET) is a new
technetium complex proposed as a tracer of myocardial perfusion. However, its cellular …
