title: Myocardial perfusion studies--direct imaging of acute myocardial injury with 99mTc-pyrophosphate.
abstract: Imaging of acute myocardial injury is possible with a large number of agents. All of these agents share similar patterns of uptake in acutely injured myocardial tissue. The technique appears to be a reliable way of ruling in or out the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
