Myocardial scintigraphy shows to have diagnostic ability after latest proposal to use Thallium-201. Thus we verified its iconographic effectiveness in 10 normal subjects and 25 patients with myocardial infarction variously localized. In both groups we obtained adequate and expressive results: the former showed omogeneous images and continuous outlines, whereas the latter showed "cold areas" in agreement with the localization provided by electrocardiography. The further utilization of myocardial imaging with Thallium-201 in 2 patients with prior infarction, in whom present ecg is equivocal, provided scintigraphic evidence of prior necrotic lesion. This emphasizes diagnostic sensitivity of myocardial scintigraphy with Thallium-201 encouraging its use in those patients in whom electrocardiography is not able to give its usual diagnostic contribution.

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.
