Abstract

Trauma to the chest can result in cardiac damage, which may be 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 combined with T1-201, is a promising addition to non-invasive evaluation. In three patients with cardiac injury, this technique successfully detected and localized myocardial necrosis.

Key Words: Chest trauma • cardiac injury • T1-201/Tc-99m PPi tomography
