Experimental infarct sizing using computer processing and a three-dimensional model

M Lewis, LM Buja, S Saffer, D Mishelevich, E Stokely, S Lewis, R Parkey, F Bonte, and J Willerson

A method for noninvasive sizing of myocardial infarction, in which data from technetium-99m stannous pyrophosphate scintigrams and a three-dimensional model were used, was tested on experimental, acute anterior infarcts in dogs. The results indicate that the method does size experimental anterior infarcts accurately, but further testing will be necessary to assess the capabilities of the technique for sizing other types of infarcts.
