title: Two phase imaging of 99mTc-SESTAMIBI and 123I-BMIPP for patients with angina pectoris.
abstract: We saw three cases of angina pectoris in which 99mTc-SESTAMIBI delayed images at rest were useful in diagnosing ischemia risk areas. These findings indicated that delayed 99mTc-SESTAMIBI images may be more sensitive to slight ischemia than 123I-BMIPP images, and suggested that imaging with 99mTc-SESTAMIBI twice at rest may be more effective. The addition of 123I-BMIPP SPECT was considered to be useful in making an evaluation of the severity of ischemia.
