Myocardial infarct imaging with 99mTc-pyrophosphate and 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate: lack of correlation. 1979

P T Makler, and S Lederman, and N D Charkes, and L S Malmud, and H Warner, and J J Reilley

A prospective study of eight patients with recent transmural myocardial infarction was performed using 99mTc-Sn-pyrophosphate and 99mTc-Sn-methylene diphosphonate in each patient. All pyrophosphate scans were strongly positive whereas the diphosphonate scan was strongly positive in only one case. We conclude that 99mTc-Sn-pyrophosphate is preferable to 99mTc-Sn-methylene diphosphonate for myocardial imaging.

D011756 Diphosphates Inorganic salts of phosphoric acid that contain two phosphate groups. Diphosphate,Pyrophosphate Analog,Pyrophosphates,Pyrophosphate Analogs,Analog, Pyrophosphate
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D004164 Diphosphonates Organic compounds which contain P-C-P bonds, where P stands for phosphonates or phosphonic acids. These compounds affect calcium metabolism. They inhibit ectopic calcification and slow down bone resorption and bone turnover. Technetium complexes of diphosphonates have been used successfully as bone scanning agents.
