Molecular imaging of cell death in the heart with 99 Tc-annexin. (a, b) Patients with acute coronary syndromes showed uptake of 99 Tc-annexin in areas of the myocardium that subsequently showed corresponding perfusion defects. The white arrows point to (a) a perfusion defect produced by the acute coronary syndrome and (b) to the area of myocardium with acute uptake of 99Tc-annexin during the event. L = liver (Reprinted with permission from Ref 7. Copyright 2000 Elsevier). (c, d) Diffuse uptake of 99 Tc-annexin in a patient with cardiac transplant rejection. Long and short axis views of the heart are shown (Reprinted with permission from Ref 8. Copyright 2001 Nature Publishing Group).
