| Summary: | The aim of this study were to develop a radionuclide method for quantitative estimation of the myocardial blood flow (MBF). Twelve patients with suspected coronary artery disease underwent both Tc-99mmethoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) imaging and coronary arterial injection of Tc-99m-radioalbumin macroaggregates (MAA). The myocardial uptake and MBF obtained using radionuclide angiocardiography and relative distributions of Tc-99m-MIBI were compared with the obtained using whole body with MAA as the gold standard. The myocardial uptake and MBF measured by MIBI imaging showed a good linear correlation with the myocardial uptake and MBF measured by MAA. These results indicate that MBF may be estimated by Tc-99m-MIBI imaging and can be used for the early detection and estimation of the functional severity of coronary lesions. |
