Primarily application of the image of the myocardial perfusion with TC 99M tetrofosmin spect in the evaluation of coronary disease

ABSTRACT

During 8/1997- 10/1998, the coronary discase of 80 patients in the nuclear medicine department of the Army Central hospital 108 were evaluated by the technique SPECT- the myocardial perfusion with TC 99 m tetrofosmin spect accompanying with the strain test by dobutamin, of which 14 patients received the coronary angiography prior to and after the technique SPECT. The results haves shown that the technique SPECT with the myocardial perfusion of TC 99 m-tetro fosmin combining with the strain test had a high sensitivity and specificity in finding the ischemic lesion due to the coronary disease.
