[Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy].

The aim of this review was to recall the relevance of the myocardial perfusion scintigraphy procedure in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy is undergone after treadmill exercise or pharmacological stress by infusion of Dipyridamole. Thallium-201, sestamibi-Tc99m and tetrofosmine-Tc99m are the most frequently used tracers.
