A comparison of Tc-99m sestamibi and Tc-99m tetrofosmin for the assessment of mild to moderate coronary artery disease by dipyridamole SPECT imaging
Animal studies have demonstrated a lower myocardial extraction fraction and earlier "roll-off' in the myocardial uptake of Tc-99m tetrofosmin compared to Tc-99m sestamibi, giving rise to concerns that the consequent reduction in defect contrast could result in underestimation of perfusion...
