Myocardial Infarction after Dipyridamole-Assisted Thallium-201 Imaging
A 77-year-old woman with suspected coronary artery disease underwent an oral dipyridamole/thallium-201 myocardial imaging study. Approximately 75 minutes after ingestion of dipyridamole 300 mg suspension, the patient developed chest pain, hypotension ...

The radioactive isotope thallium 201 behaves physiologically as a potassium analog, and when injected intravenously accumulates rapidly within the cells of many organs. Uptake of the isotope reflects both regional perfusion and sodium-potassium pump activity. The radionuclide emits 80 keV x-rays which are suitable for scintillation camera imaging.

In normal subjects, thallium-201, administered per rectum, is taken up mainly by the liver (heart/liver ratio in normal subjects: 0.04 to 0.12). It has been claimed that an increased heart/liver ratio is suggestive of portal-caval shunting and portal ...

Thallium-201 uptake and clearance after dipyridamole infusion may differ from that after exercise stress because the hemodynamic effects of these two interventions are different. In this study of normal volunteers, thallium kinetics after dipyridamole (n

Redistribution thallium-201 imaging 2 to 4 h after exercise may be incomplete and therefore may be inadequate to fully assess myocardial variability.

Background: Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) is an important tool for evaluating ischemia in diabetic populations. However, applications of advanced predictive models like multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) to estimate summed stress ...

Value of thallium-201 in the non-invasive evaluation of coronary cardiopathy Aporte del Talio-201 en la evaluación no invasiva de la cardiopatía coronaria. [PDF]
Normal myocardial cells actively uptake the radioisotope Thallium-201 and its myocardial distribution is a reflection of the existent regional coronary artery blood flow at the moment of the examination.

Seventy-six patients with thyroid nodules were studied. Initially, 74 MBq of thallium-201 was injected. The thyroid gland was imaged 15 min (early) and 3 h (delayed) after the injection.
