The significance of coronary collateral circulation for redistribution in the infarcted zone was evaluated in 16 patients with history of myocardial infarction and severe stenosis (> or = 90%) of the coronary artery. Redistribution areas were quantitatively measured using the redistribution ratios and redistribution indices on the infarction-redistribution map obtained by thallium-201 scintigraphy with single photon emission computed tomography. Coronary collateral findings were categorized in 4 classes according to the Rentrop's grading. There was good, positive linear correlation between the redistribution ratio (Y) and collateral grading (X) (Y = 0.21X + 0.10, r = 0.92, p < 0.01). The redistribution index (X) also correlated well with the collateral grading (Y) using a good, positive quadratic equation (Y = 0.32X2 + 0.24X + 0.04, r = 0.89, p < 0.01). These results suggest that the measurements of the redistribution areas in the ischemic zone in myocardial infarction correlated well with collateral perfusion. Collateral perfusion severer than Rentrop's grade 2 markedly reduces the severity of ischemia and increases redistribution areas.

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.
