Imaging of acute myocardial injury is possible with a large number of agents. All of these agents share similar patterns of uptake in acutely injured myocardial tissue. The technique appears to be a reliable way of ruling in or out the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

Die bildliche (szintigraphische) Darstellung von Myokardinfarkten ist mit einer großen Anzahl von Radionukliden bzw. radiopharmazeutischen Verbindungen möglich. Alle diese Verbindungen zeigen vergleichbare Verteilungen im Myokar-dium bei akuter Infarzierung. Die Methode erscheint zuverlässig und zeigt eine hohe Sensitivität.
