A quantitative approach to the analysis of the normal thallium-201 myocardial image. 1978

J H McKillop, and R G Bessent, and R G Murray, and J G Turner, and A Tweddel, and W R Greig

The visual interpretation of Thallium-201 myocardial images is made more difficult by nonhomogeneity of myocardial tracer uptake in normal studies. To increase the objectivity of the study, the variation in count density in different myocardial areas has been calculated using a computer regions of interest technique in 14 healthy, young subjects following intravenous injection of the radionuclide at rest and in 10 after injection during maximal exercise. The "normal ranges" for regional Thallium-201 uptake so obtained are presented and discussed.

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.
