Abstract
Myocardial scans were obtained in ten patients with proven myocardial infarction. Scintigraphy on consecutive days was performed with technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate and technetium-99m pyrophosphate. Images obtained with the two tracers were generally equal in quality. Those with PPi exhibited denser uptake, while background activity was lower with MDP.
