myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
- myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
- scintigraphy performed using a radiotracer that traverses the myocardial capillary system and enters myocardial cells; after the radionuclide, usually thallium 201, is introduced into the bloodstream, regional myocardial blood flow and cell viability are assessed using immediate and delayed images. Scintigraphy is frequently combined with an exercise stress test in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. See also thallium-201 myocardial perfusion s. and thallium stress test, under test.
