A 56-year-old man, complaining of severe substernal chest pain, was admitted. In this patient, right ventricular infarction following by acute inferior myocardial infarction was suggested by serial enzymes, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and hemodynamic data, but it was not confirmed. A dual isotope SPECT with 99mTc-pyrophosphate and 201Tl-Cl was performed and color-coded tomograms were obtained. It showed a characteristic image of right ventricular infarction, especially in the short axis view right ventricular infarction looked like shape of a tongue which protruded from left ventricle. We concluded that though the diagnosis of right ventricular infarction is difficult, a dual isotope SPECT is a useful method because it shows a characteristic image.

D015899 Tomography, Emission-Computed, Single-Photon A method of computed tomography that uses radionuclides which emit a single photon of a given energy. The camera is rotated 180 or 360 degrees around the patient to capture images at multiple positions along the arc. The computer is then used to reconstruct the transaxial, sagittal, and coronal images from the 3-dimensional distribution of radionuclides in the organ. The advantages of SPECT are that it can be used to observe biochemical and physiological processes as well as size and volume of the organ. The disadvantage is that, unlike positron-emission tomography where the positron-electron annihilation results in the emission of 2 photons at 180 degrees from each other, SPECT requires physical collimation to line up the photons, which results in the loss of many available photons and hence degrades the image.
