Abstract
Comparing the results of 201T1 and 99mTc-pyrophosphate myocardial imaging in patients with acute myocardial infarction, it is evident that both imaging techniques provide different information and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. For the practical application in the coronary care unit, it is essential to realize that each method yields its best results at different time intervals after onset of myocardial infarction (Figure 8-1).
