New 99mTc Radiotracers for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging by SPECT.

CONCLUSION: 99mTc-3SPboroximine is an excellent example of perfusion radiotracers, the heart uptake of which is largely relies on the regional blood flow. It is possible to use 99mTc-3SPboroximine for detection of perfusion defect(s), accurate quantification and determination of regional blood flow rate. Development of such a 99mTc radiotracer is of great clinical benefit for accurate diagnosis of CAD and assessing risk of future hard events (e.g. heart attack and sudden death) in cardiac patients.
