Imaging necrotic myocardium: detection with 99mTc-pyrophosphate and radiolabeled antimyosin
Cardiol Clin.
1989 Aug.
Abstract
The major value of hot-spot imaging of the myocardium is its ability to define areas of necrosis rather than areas of diminished blood flow or cellular function. Applications of hot-spot imaging include the diagnosis and quantitation of myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and cardiac transplant rejection. The two agents in clinical use, 99mTc-Pyrophosphate and radiolabeled antimyosin, are discussed.
