Early imaging of the infarct.
Radionuclide techniques for the detection of acutely infarcted myocardium have been available for several years, but they are rarely used. Recent advances, such as the introduction of single-photon emission computed tomography and the introduction of novel radiopharmaceuticals, have suggested new clinical and research applications for them.
