Technetium-99m (TC-99m)-teboroxime is a new myocardial perfusion imaging agent. The purpose of this prospective study was to compare Tc-99m-teboroxime with thallium-201 imaging after the administration of dipyridamole. Thirty patients referred for the evaluation of chest pain were studied with both thallium-201 and Tc-99m-teboroxime dipyridamole scans (mean interval 2 days). Dipyridamole was administered at 0.142 mg/kg/min for 4 minutes. Planar imaging (3 standard views) was obtained at S and 240 minutes after the injection of 2.2 mCl of thallium-201. Tc-99m-teboroxime (18 to 25 mCi) was infected after dipyridamole infusion. A second injection, at rest, was repeated 4 hours later. Planar imaging (3 standard views of 1 minute/view for the first 2 views, and 90 seconds for the last view) was obtained 2 minutes after Tc-99m-teboroxime injection. Blinded reading was performed by 3 observers. Thallium-201 showed perfusion defects in 182 myocardial segments corresponding to 33 of 45 (73%) significantly stenosed coronary arteries (≥70% reduction in endoluminal diameter), and Tc-99m-teboroxime detected 160 abnormal segments corresponding to 29 of 45 (64%) stenosed arteries. Thallium-201 and Tc-99m-teboroxime studies were normal in 3 patients. In conclusion, this study shows that there is a good correlation in the imaging results found with thallium-201 and Tc-99m-teboroxime using dipyridamole infusion on both a segmental and a diagnostic comparison.
