Stress thallium-201/rest technetium-99m sequential dual
This is the first clinical study, which compares stress thallium-201/rest technetium-99m sequential dual-isotope high-speed MPI vs ICA for detection of CAD. Dual-isotope high-speed MPI showed high sensitivity and accuracy with a far shorter imaging time. The limits of the protocol were also shown with low specificity and radiation …
