Dipyredamole and exercise Tc-99m-MIBI for identification of significant coronary stenoses: Comparison with Thallium tomographic results

We have compared dipyridamole and exercise Tc-99m-MIBI with T1-201 tomographic imaging for evaluation of coronary heart disease. The results show that there is no difference between dipyridamole Tc-99m-MIBI and T1-201 imaging in diaguoltion accaracy while exercise Tc-99m-MIBI was lower than T1-201. Thus, dipyridamole Tc-99m-MIBI tomographic imaging is a good method for diagnosing coronary heart disease.
