  • Title: Myocardial scintigraphy with 99mTc-tris-DMPE in man.
    Author: Gerson MC, Deutsch EA, Libson KF, Adolph RJ, Ketring AR, Vanderheyden JL, Williams CC, Saenger EL.
    Journal: Eur J Nucl Med; 1984; 9(9):403-7. PubMed ID: 6499874.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac scintigraphy was performed in six patients with a documented previous myocardial infarction, in one patient with mitral regurgitation, and in four healthy volunteers following administration of 99mTc-tris-DMPE. An intense early blood pool phase permitted gated blood pool scintigraphy and left ventricular ejection fraction calculation. A myocardial phase 12-14 h later permitted myocardial perfusion imaging. The rest myocardial perfusion image quality with 99mTc-tris-DMPE appeared to be superior to the resting image quality obtained with 99mTc-dichloro-DMPE but was inferior to the resting image quality obtained with 201Tl.
