Abstract

99mTc-tetrofosmin single photon emission computed tomography (99mTc-tetrofosmin SPECT) has an important role in the assessment of coronary artery disease. Despite being its main indication, this study does not only evaluate myocardial perfusion, but much more. Moreover, during the SPECT acquisition, the field area covered includes many important organs of the thorax and abdomen, so extracardiac abnormalities can be observed. The correct etiologic diagnosis of them is only possible if we understand how 99mTc-tetrofosmin works and make a comprehensive investigation of the clinical history of the patient.

Keywords:
Myocardial perfusion SPECT
Extracardiac findings
Non-cardiac chest pain
99mTc-tetrofosmin
Resumen

La tomografía con 99mTc-tetrofosmin (99mTc-tetrofosmin SPECT) desempeña un papel fundamental en la evaluación de la enfermedad coronaria. A pesar de que esta es su principal indicación, debemos recordar que estos estudios no evalúan únicamente la perfusión miocárdica, sino mucho más. Además, durante la adquisición de la SPECT, el campo incluye gran parte del tórax y abdomen, por lo que podemos observar enfermedad extracardíaca en las regiones incluidas. Llegar a un correcto diagnóstico etiológico de esas alteraciones solo es posible si entendemos cómo funciona el 99mTc-tetrofosmin y realizamos una exhaustiva investigación de los antecedentes e historia clínica del paciente.
