| Popis: | Radionuclide methods for evaluation of myocardial ischemia [42, 88] and infarction [42, 43] have become widely available. In addition to providing diagnostic information, these techniques also have predictive value [45]. The accurate interpretation of myocardial scintigraphy is, however, complicated by the compression of a three-dimensional radiopharmaceutical distribution into a two-dimensional image by the detector System. This can cause masking of abnormalities by normal underlying or overlying areas, as well as introduce errors due to superposition of extracardiac activity. |
