Abstract
Tc-99m myocardial perfusion agents such as Tc-99m sestamibi or Tc-99m tetrofosmin has advantages over T1-201 for myocardial perfusion scan fuck as low attenuation and easy availability. However, Tc-99m agents do not redistribute so they need to be given T times, namely after stress and at rest. To evaluate whether rest image is needed in patients showing normal stress image, 43 patients who underwent both myocardial perfusion scan and coronary angiography and showed normal stress images were evaluated. Findings of rest images of them were evaluated whether they change the diagnosis or treatment plans. Among 43 patients who showed normal stress myocardial perfusion imaging, 31 (72.1%) showed no additional informations. However, among 5 patients with vasospastic angina 4 (80%) showed abnormal rest images in spite of normal stress images. So, when vasospastic angina is suspected clinically, rest image could be helpful in identifying patients with coronary vasospasm. In conclusion, rest myocardial perfusion images were not helpful in 72.1 % of patients with angina when stress images were normal. In only exception was those with vasospastic angina.
연구 목적 : 디피리다몰 부하-휴식 Tc-99m MIBI 일일 심근영상법에서 부하기 영상이 정상인 환자에서 휴식기 영상이 필요한지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 흉통을 주소로 전남대학교병원을 내원하여 핵의학과에서 디피리다몰 부하/휴식 MIBI 심근관류 SPECT를 시행한 환자 중 부하시 스캔 소견상 관류결손이 없었고, 심근관류검사 전후 1개월 이내에 관동맥조영술로 관동맥병변 유무가 확진된 43명의 환자(남:여=24:19, 평균연령
