Transient ischemic dilation (TID) on stress SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is defined as the apparent presence of left ventricular (LV) dilation on poststress relative to rest images. (snmjournals.org)
Revascularization1
This technique is particularly useful in stroke management, as it helps identify potentially salvageable brain tissue (the ischemic penumbra) that could benefit from revascularization therapies. (openmedscience.com)
Technetium (99mTc) sestamibi is a lipophilic cation which, when injected intravenously into a patient, distributes in the myocardium proportionally to the myocardial blood flow. (wikipedia.org)
The resulting two sets of images are compared with each other to distinguish ischemic from infarcted areas of the myocardium. (wikipedia.org)
Sodium3
For intravenous injection after radiolabelling with sodium (Tc-99m) pertechnetate solution and is indicated for: - adjunct for diagnosis of ischaemic heart disease. (studylib.net)
The vial is reconstituted with a maximum of 11 GBq of oxidant-free sodium (Tc-99m) pertechnetate solution for injection in 1 - 5 ml. (studylib.net)
In cases of severe heart failure, however, prolonged, rigid sodium restriction, coupled with intensive diuretic therapy and the inability to excrete water, may lead to dilutional hyponatremia, which occurs because of a substantial expansion of extracellular and intravascular fluid volume and a normal or increased level of total body sodium.
