Leg perfusion evaluated by delayed administration of thallium-201.
Lower limb perfusion was evaluated with intravenous Tl-201 and angiography. Tl-201 was injected about 4 minutes after the cessation of stress; this resulted in increased uptake in muscles supplied by stenosed vessels. These results differ from previous studies and emphasize that differing results will be obtained with variations in the time of Tl-201 injection. Redistribution images are unchanged when Tl-201 is administered in this manner.
