Tc-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion SPECT after dipyridamole combined with low-level exercise in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
Tc-99m tetrofosmin is a lipophilic, cationic perfusion imaging agent that changes to Tl-201 in detecting coronary artery disease during exercise testing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of Tc-99m tetrofosmin dipyridamole stress imaging combined with low level exercise for the detection of coronary artery disease. We examined 42 patients and 10 normal volunteers who also ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of Tc-99m tetrofosmin myocardial perfusion gated SPECT in patients with diabetes mellitus and suspected coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND The cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death among diabetic patients, which makes it crucial to identify the individuals at higher risk of cardiovascular events. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic value of scintigraphy with gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and suspected coronary artery disease. METHODS Ret...
متن کاملDopamine Transporter imaging with Tc-99m TRODAT-1 SPECT in Parkinson’s disease and its correlation with clinical disease severity
Objective(s): To evaluate the role of Tc-99m TRODAT-1 Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) by assessing the correlation of clinical disease severity, disease duration and age at onset of disease with specific uptake ratio of Tc-99m TRODAT-1 in striatum.Methods: The study included 63 patients in age range of 40-72 years with clinical diagnosis of PD and ...
متن کاملDetection of occult thymoma during exercise thallium 201, technetium 99m tetrofosmin imaging for coronary artery disease.
Thallium (Tl) 201 and technetium (Tc) 99m tetrofosmin single-photon emission CT are routinely used in the evaluation of coronary artery disease. Mediastinal tumors demonstrate Tl 201 and Tc 99m tetrofosmin uptake. We report a 56-year-old man who developed chest pain after a previously successful angioplasty and stent of the left anterior descending coronary artery. He underwent a Tl 201, Tc 99m...
متن کاملGender differences in detecting coronary artery disease with dipyridamole stress myocardial perfusion imaging using 99m-Tc sestamibi gated SPECT.
There are some specifics in the presentation of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women compared with men that may cause diagnostic pitfalls. The accuracy of noninvasive diagnostic testing in women tends to be lower than that in men. Stress myocardial perfusion imaging with 99m-Tc sestamibi gated SPECT is an accurate technique for detecting CAD. Only a few studies have compared dipyridamole stre...
