Zusammenfassung:	Myocardial contusion is a serious problem not easily diagnosed. Laboratory and clinical studies carried out on myocardial infarction suggested that Technetium scanning might clarify this diagnostic dilemma. Radionuclide imaging with Technetium was carried out in 29 patients suspected of having myocardial contusion. Of 13 patients in whom contusion was confirmed electrocardiographically, scan was positive in only two. Use of the technique in diagnosis of myocardial contusion is not recommended.
