Abstract
Technetium-99m-methoxy isobutyl isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a functional imaging method with relatively poor specificity but high sensitivity. Wepresent 48-year-old man with cardiac involvement due to muscular dystrophies (MD). Myocardial perfusion imaging rest images revealed regional myocardial perfusion decrease in multiple walls, enlarged heart and decreased left ventricular systolic function. The lesion location of MPI was consistent with that seen on CMR. Our case showed MPI was useful for detection and evaluation of the MD patient with cardiac involvement. In addition, imaging findings in combination with clinical history and other data are important. The case highlight is thevalue of MPI in myocardiopathy.
期刊介绍：
The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine published by the Hellenic Society of
Nuclear Medicine in Thessaloniki, aims to contribute to research, to education and
cover the scientific and professional interests of physicians, in the field of nuclear
medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
