Abstract:
Reverse redistribution is a well-known pattern found when performing thallium myocardial scintigraphy, and it has been implicated as an indicator of myocardial ischemia. Much more rarely, when using technetium compounds, which do not redistribute, a similar pattern is noted after the second injection of the radiotracer. This pattern has been termed "reverse perfusion pattern," and its full implications are not yet clear and are still being investigated.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
