Despite a lower cardiac uptake, the more rapid liver clearance of tetrofosmin than sestamibi significantly improves the ratios of cardiac to digestive activity, especially after exercise or at rest. These quantitative differences in biokinetics result in less poor scans with tetrofosmin in daily practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
