Background. Technetium 99m sestamibi cardiac scintigraphy is widely used as a means of
predicting myocardial viability in patients with chronic ischemic left ventricular (LV)
dysfunction. No data are available comparing the results of visual and quantitative analysis
of tomographic imaging in the assessment of myocardial viability. The aim of this study was
to directly compare visual and quantitative analysis of resting sestamibi single photon
emission computed tomography in the identification of viable myocardium in patients with …
