Usefulness of Cephalad Views in Thallium-201 Myocardial Imaging

In addition to imaging in the conventional positions, Tl-201 myocardial imaging was also performed in a 25° cephalad projection. This resulted in improved imaging, especially of the inferior wall. Myocardial images are presented in five patients in whom areas of absent activity were most sharply del...

Zusammenfassung:	In addition to imaging in the conventional positions, Tl-201 myocardial imaging was also performed in a 25° cephalad projection. This resulted in improved imaging, especially of the inferior wall. Myocardial images are presented in five patients in whom areas of absent activity were most sharply delineated in the 25° cephalad projection.
