Fig. 1. Fusion images from dipyridamole stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) and 64-slice computed tomography (CT) constructed before (A) and after (B) the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Stress images of MPS with Thallium-201 showed the improvement in myocardial ischemia of the anterior wall (black arrow head). The grafts, the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and the radial artery (RA) to the diagonal branch (Dx), were shown to be patent with CT. RCA, right coronary artery; LCX, left circumflex artery; and SVG, saphenous vein graft.
