Correlation between intracoronary 201Tl myocardial scanning, coronary angiography and left ventriculography. 1978

V J D'Souza, and J S Schwartz, and K Amplatz

One hundred and six patients with angina pectoris who underwent routine coronary angiography and left ventriculography were given intracoronary injection of thallium 201. The myocardial images had excellent resolution because of lack of interference from the background activity. The myocardial images and the left ventriculograms showed 94% correlation. Correlation between scans and EKG was lower. There was no correlation between the degree of coronary artery stenosis and 201Tl scan. Currently, the intracoronary injection of 201Tl at rest does not yield additional information to coronary angiography and left ventriculography.

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.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
