Abstract:
During 5/2000 - 5/2001, the nuclear medicine depar. of Cho Ray hospital implemented the scintigraphic application of myocardial blood irrigation for 144 cases (93 with 99 mTc-MIBI, 33 with 201 TI and 14 with 99m Tc MIBI combined with 201 TI). The results from angiography have shown that the sensitivity and specificity of scintigraphy in the diagnosis of the coronary arterial pathology was 92% and 71.4%, respectively. The scintigraphy for myocardial blood irrigation was a sensitive, noninvasive and valuable method of diagnosis of the coronary arterial pathology
