| Abstract: | Trauma to the chest can result in cardiac damage, which maybe missed by clinical examination because of associated injuries.Routinely performed non-invasive tests may also be non-diagnostic.Tc-99m pyrophos-phate (PPi) tomography, in this study combinedwith T1-201, is a promising addition to non-invasive evaluation.In three patients with cardiac injury, this technique successfullydetected and localized myocardial necrosis. |
