title: Thallium-201/technetium-99m-RP-30A disparity in the course of myocardial infarction after attempted reperfusion.
abstract: Recent reports have established that 201Tl may be taken up in areas of recent myocardial infarction after myocardial blood flow is re-established. In addition, there is accelerated 201Tl "washout" from these regions producing a pattern of "reverse redistribution." We present a case in which these phenomena may have contributed to a disparity of findings between a 201Tl stress imaging study and a repeat stress imaging study performed with a [99mTc] isonitrile (99mTc-RP-30A).
