TL;DR: Preoperative dipyridamole-thallium imaging appears most useful to stratify vascular patients determined to be at intermediate risk by clinical evaluation, and the multivariate model using both clinical and thallium variables showed significantly higher specificity at equivalent sensitivity levels than models using either clinical or thallum variables alone.

TL;DR: It is suggested that patients without thallium redistribution are at a low risk for postoperative ischemic events and may proceed to have vascular surgery and should be considered for preoperative coronary angiography and myocardial revascularization in an effort to avoid postoperativeMyocardial ischemia and to improve survival.

TL;DR: This multicenter Phase I and II study indicates that planar [99mTc]HEXAMIBI stress imaging is safe and compares well with 201T1 stress imaging for detection of coronary artery disease.

TL;DR: Thallium-201 was evaluated in a series of phantom scans, which demonstrated that the low energy X-ray of thallium was suitable for imaging and suggested that thallia-201 can be used for the evaluation of the distribution of regional myocardial perfusion.

TL;DR: It is established that human polyclonal IgG labeled with 99mTc via a nicotinyl hydrazine modified intermediate is equivalent to 111In-IgG for imaging focal sites of infection in experimental animals.
