Abstract

Myocardial scintigraphy may be performed at rest or after stress testing using potassium-like cations, labeled metabolites or infarct-fixing tracers. It is an in vivo method of studying myocardial ischaemia and infarction and may provide diagnostic information when other techniques fail. The diagnostic possibilities of myocardial scintigraphy have been increased by the introduction of tomographic techniques and new radioisotopes with very short half lives.
