Scintigraphy of induced myocardial infarcts with 99Tcm-gluconate.
A new isotope compound, 99Tcm-gluconate, for detection of myocardial infarction has been tested in dogs. A close correlation was found between the isotope uptake measured in vivo with a gamma camera and the infarct weight of early irreversible myocardial infarcts.
