Abstract
Two patients with myocardial sarcoidosis are presented, both of whom underwent SPECT imaging with TI-201 and Ga-67. The first had Ga-67 myocardial uptake with a TI-201 defect, which disappeared with corticosteroid therapy. The second had multiple TI-201 defects without Ga-67 uptake, which persisted despite corticosteroid therapy. Therefore, the combination of TI-201 and Ga-67 imaging may be useful for recognizing myocardial sarcoidosis and for predicting the response to corticosteroid therapy.
