Radionuclide technetium-99m is used for diagnostics and scintigraphy (scanning) of the thyroid and salivary glands, brain, and radionuclide angiocardiography, and also ventriculography. For example, myocardial perfusion scanning plays an important role in diagnosing and making therapeutic decisions in heart disease. For example, technetium-99m sestamibi or technetium-99m tetrofosmin radiopharmaceuticals are often used to scan myocardial perfusion in SPECT (single photon ejection computed tomography) techniques.
