[Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy - methods and fundamentals (author's transl)]. 1978

R Felix, and H Simon, and J P Hedde, and C Winkler

Myocardial perfusion studies with labelled particles make a detailed analysis of the distribution of myocardial perfusion possible. Methodical and physiological fundamentals are described and the reliability of the method is shown by double radionuclide imaging. LAD-stenoses (greater than 70%) show a decreased activity in the distal areas of the LAD (on the average 36,5 +/- 10,3% in contrast to 59 +/- in normals). Mean local activity is 14,9 +/- 1,8% within scars. Scars and hemodynamically effective stenoses can be imaged with high sensitivity. Total defects (smaller than 15% of the activity maximum) correspond to a scar. A moderate reduction of uptake (15--50% of the activity maximum) does not allow any differentiation between scar and reversible diminution of perfusion.

D008722 Methods A series of steps taken in order to conduct research. Techniques,Methodological Studies,Methodological Study,Procedures,Studies, Methodological,Study, Methodological,Method,Procedure,Technique
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.

D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
