| Abstract | A case of myotonic muscular dystrophy in which thallium-20l showed dystrophic change of skeletal muscle is described. After i.v. injection of2 mCi of thallium-20l, the patient's whole body scintigram was reconstructed by taking the geometric mean of the corresponding anterior and posterior pixel counts over the 512 x 512 matrix formal. The scintigram showed manifest hypoperfusion at the site of muscle weakness. Thallium-201 whole body scintigraphy was thought to be useful for noninvasive evaluation of skeletal muscular involvement in muscle disease. |
