title: Comparison of thallium-201 myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography and cine magnetic resonance imaging in Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.
abstract: In conclusion, thallium-201 myocardial SPECT is useful not only in detecting myocardial degeneration and estimating cardiac functions, but also in predicting the prognosis of cardiomyopathy in patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.
