Description

Myocardial imaging using thallium-201 was performed in patients with Kawasaki disease. In two patients whose ECGs showed ischemic changes, the scintiscan demonstrated an area with diminished radioactivity at the site corresponding to electrocardiographic localization of the infarction. Thallium-201 myocardial imaging is useful in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction not only in adults but also in younger children. (author)
