Two phase imaging of99mTc-SESTAMIBI and123I-BMIPP for patients with angina pectoris

We saw three cases of angina pectoris in which^sup 99m^Tc-SESTAMIBI delayed images at rest were useful in diagnosing ischemia risk areas. These findings indicated that delayed^sup 99m^Tc-SESTAMIBI images may be more sensitive to slight ischemia than^sup 123^I-BMIPP images, and suggested that imaging with^sup 99m^Tc-SESTAMIBI twice at rest may be more effective. The addition of^sup 123^I-BMIPP SPECT was considered to be useful in making an evaluation of the severity of ischemia.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
