Hi all,Pls help me understand the meaning of the thallium

of the thallium stress test (rest versus stress part,
threedifferent views of the heart - short axis, vertical
and horizontal axis, various heart partsin these views -
septum, anterior, inferior, etc). What I've not understood
is the relation of the 8 different images of a particular
stress(or rest) SA/VLA/HLA view. For example, with respect
to the thallium images of the links:
medicor.comnormalthall.htm or
medicor.comantischemia.htm - What is the
relation of the different images in the same line of e.g.
the stress short axisview?
Different slice.
Are these taken in different time (left to right?),
No.
from different angle, or something else?
Something else (slice).
- In each view (SA/VLA/HLA), you have to compare the
stress image with the rest imageexactly beneath it?
Yes.
If no, how one should compare? - Is it true that the short
axis view in women can be false positive, regarding the
LAD area?
It can be for either men or women.
Is it possible to cross check with another
view/examination?
It can be either confirmed or refuted with either a
myocardial PET scan or coronary angiography.
Thank you all,
You are welcome.
