It has been recognized for some time that stress myocardial perfusion imaging using the
technetium 99m–radiolabeled perfusion agents sestamibi and tetrofosmin underestimates …

Individual results of coronary angiography were compared with tomographic myocardial
scintigraphy (SPECT) in 99 patients. Coronary angiography findings were transferred to …

METHODS Patient Selection One hundred sixty-eight men and women with single-vessel
disease and normal patients were selected from approximately 400 individuals who had …

RESULTS The coronary arteriograms were normal in 34 pa tients. This is a rather high
proportion of normal arteriograms(42%) and reflects the fact that this study was looking at …

Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, performed after administration of thallium-201 during
exercise, has come into widespread use for evaluating patients with coronary artery disease …

disease (CAD) with the use of rest and exercise single photon emission computed …

One hundred and eight patients with single and multiple vessel coronary artery disease
confirmed by arteriography were evaluated by exercise thallium-201 (201Tl) myocardial …
