OBJECTIVES: We compared dipyridamole technetium-99m (Tc-99m) tetrofosmin and thallium-201 (Tl-201) single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) imaging with respect to the detection rate of perfusion abnormalities in 26 patients with angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD).
BACKGROUND: Experimental studies have shown that myocardial extraction of Tc-99m tetrofosmin is lower than that of Tl-201 at high flow rates, resulting in less severe defects with vasodilator stress. It is uncertain whether this results in a lower sensitivity than Tl-201 for detecting coronary stenoses with vasodilator stress in patients.
METHODS: Twenty-six patients with CAD underwent both dipyridamole Tl-201 and Tc-99m tetrofosmin SPECT. Tomographic images were scored for initial defects and the presence of reversibility. Defect magnitude was computer quantitated.
RESULTS: Of the 26 patients, 25 had defects on both Tl-201 and Tc-99m tetrofosmin SPECT images. Of 340 segments analyzed, 102 had defects by Tl-201 and 92 by Tc-99m tetrofosmin (p = NS). Whereas Tl-201 detected 27 fixed defects in 12 patients, Tc-99m tetrofosmin identified 37 fixed defects in 14 patients (p = NS). In contrast, Tl-201 identified more reversible and partially reversible defects than did Tc-99m tetrofosmin (89 vs. 55, p = 0.002). The average defect magnitude (percent normal) was similar for defects concordantly graded as fixed (38 +/- 3.0% for Tl-201 vs. 42 +/- 4% [mean +/- SEM] for Tc-99m tetrofosmin, p = NS). The average defect magnitude for defects concordantly graded as completely reversible was significantly more severe on Tl-201 than on Tc-99m tetrofosmin (49 +/- 3% vs. 58 +/- 3%) SPECT images. A significantly greater defect magnitude for Tl-201 was also found for defects concordantly classified as partly reversible (30 +/- 4% for Tl-201 vs. 45 +/- 5% for Tc-99m tetrofosmin).
CONCLUSIONS: With dipyridamole stress, 1) at least one defect was seen on both Tl-201 and Tc-99m tetrofosmin SPECT images; 2) Tc-99m tetrofosmin SPECT identified fewer reversible defects than did Tl-201, but showed a similar number of fixed defects; 3) the magnitude of reversible defects seen on Tc-99m tetrofosmin images was less, whereas fixed defects were similar for both tracers; 4) reversible defects seen on Tl-201 and not on Tc-99m tetrofosmin SPECT images were predominantly regions perfused by mild coronary stenoses.
