Technetium-99m-tetrofosmin myocardial imaging: a comparison with thallium-201 and angiography.

Abstract

In comparison to rest tetrofosmin, thallium redistribution shows more reversibility in areas with myocardial infarction but less reversibility in areas of myocardial ischemia. Current Phase II results suggest that tetrofosmin is a sensitive and reliable tracer for detecting myocardial infarction and ischemia. Results should be confirmed in a larger group of patients.
