title: Gated resting Tl-201 SPECT in the evaluation of myocardial viability.
abstract: Gating of resting Tl-201 SPECT to evaluate myocardial viability is now clinically feasible. Two cases are presented to illustrate the additional information of wall motion and wall thickening obtained from gating. This additional information may improve the classification of viable myocardium and requires further study.
