Description
Summary:Sensitivity [Confidence Interval] for^sup 201^Tl R-R was 74.6% [60.5-84.5], for FDG it was 82.1% [70.8-90.4]; specificities were 73% [64.3-80.5] and 54.8% [45.6-63.7], respectively.^sup 18^F-FDG tended to be more sensitive than 201Tl R-R, but the latter was more specific (p < 0.0004). Both^sup 201^T1 R-R and^sup 18^F-FDG presented high negative predictive value (p: ns).Conclusion: In recent MI, SPECT^sup 201^Tl R-R is a valuable and widely available technique for viability detection, with similar sensitivity and significant better specificity than SPECT^sup 18^F-FDG.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
