Cardiac Sarcoidosis Demonstrated by TI-201 and Ga-67 SPECT Imaging

Ga-67 and TI-201 SPECT was performed to evaluate cardiac sarcoidosis in a 15-year-old boy. TI-201 SPECT imaging showed decreased uptake in the inferior to lateral wall and Ga-67 accumulation in the area of decreased TI-201 uptake. These findings suggested cardiac sarcoidosis, and cardiac biopsy conf...

Zusammenfassung:Ga-67 and TI-201 SPECT was performed to evaluate cardiac sarcoidosis in a 15-year-old boy. TI-201 SPECT imaging showed decreased uptake in the inferior to lateral wall and Ga-67 accumulation in the area of decreased TI-201 uptake. These findings suggested cardiac sarcoidosis, and cardiac biopsy confirmed this diagnosis. After corticosteroid therapy, myocardial uptake of Ga-67 disappeared and myocardial TI-201 uptake became more homogeneous.
