Mobile gamma cameras and 99mTc-labelled phosphates in acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract

99mTc-labelled phosphates (PyP, IDP and MDP) were compared for their usefulness for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. The results indicated the superiority of 99mTc-labelled imidodiphosphonate over the other 99mTc-labelled phosphates. At the same time, two mobile gamma cameras were compared with respect to their instrumental characteristics and clinical versalitity and their advantages and disadvantages are reported.
