All animals were anesthetizedwith intravenous pentobarbital [30 mg/kg] in the right lateral
decubitus position for the duration ofthe studies. All nine dogs (five pre-instrumented with …

Technetium-99m-teboroxime (CardioTec) is a promising new myocardial perfusion imaging
agent. The purposes of this study were to define teboroxime clearance kinetics in normal …

BACKGROUND This study tested the hypotheses in the setting of a coronary artery stenosis
that 1) planar 99mTc-teboroxime myocardial scans are capable of providing a good estimate …

OBJECTIVES.: This study evaluated technetium-99m (Tc-99m) teboroxime kinetics in
postischemic and partially necrotic myocardium with complete and low flow reperfusion …

K1 estimatesfor all localregions, exceptthe septumduring stress, are comparablewith those
for the global region. Conclu. slons: We concludethat quantitativecompartmentalanalysisof …

CONCLUSION Teboroxime is a promising myocar dial perfusion agent that is capable of
providing good estimates of relative coronary flow reserve. Its utility may be enhanced by …

Recently, efforts have been directed at the development of technetium-99m (Tc-99m)-
labeled isonitrile compounds for assessment of regional perfusion and viability after …

Abstract Technetium-99m hexakis-2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (99m Tc-MIBI) distribution is
flow-dependent, permitting the imaging of coronary perfusion defects. However, the …

METhODS Surgical Preparation Twenty-fourfasted adult mongreldogs (23 kg ±1 kg) were
anesthetizedwith sodium pentobarbital (30 mg/kg), intubatedand ventilated on a …

Serial myocardial imaging with technetium-99m methoxyisobutyl isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) has
been proposed for evaluating myocardial salvage after reperfusion. To define 99mTc-MIBI …
