A comparison of planar and tomographic thallium scintigraphy in patients with coronary artery disease
Abstract
Planar and tomographic scans from 57 patients are compared and related to coronary arteriographic results. Tomography identified inferior and septal defects not seen on planar imaging. Planar imaging better identified apical defects. Lesions of the left circumflex were poorly defined by both techniques.
