TI  - Tomographic thallium-201 stress scintigraphy in the evaluation of coronary artery 
      disease.
PG  - 471-5
AB  - 57 patients with chest pain, had tomographic thallium-201 stress scintigraphy 
      (TTSS), and coronary angiography within three months of the TTSS. The exercise 
      images were compared with delayed images obtained at 3 hours post-exercise. The 
      sensitivity and specificity of locating individual coronary artery disease was 
      88% and 100% for disease of left anterior descending artery (LAD), 89% and 83% 
      for right coronary artery disease (RCA), and 24% and 96% for left circumflex 
      artery (LCX) disease. Other than for LCX disease, our results compare favourably 
      with other reports. The overall accuracies are 91%, 86% and 60% for LAD, RCA and 
      LCX disease respectively.
