Exercise radionuclide imaging approaches to coronary artery disease

R D Okada et al. Am J Cardiol. .

Abstract

Exercise thallium-201 myocardial imaging and exercise radionuclide angiography are the two techniques of nuclear cardiology most widely used for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. EAch of these tests provides information of diagnostic and functional value. The diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility of these two tests for the detection of coronary artery disease are compared. The strengths and weaknesses of each approach are discussed. A clinical approach to the detection and evaluation of coronary artery disease using these radionuclide exercise techniques is presented.
