/sup 123/I-hexadecenoic acid is a terminally iodinated, 17-carbon fatty acid analog which is rapidly degraded in the myocardium. By determining regional myocardial distribution patterns and clearance rates, it may become useful as a single agent for estimating regional myocardial perfusion and for distinguishing viable ischemic tissue from infarcted tissue. The high count rates obtainable with the iodine label permit acquisition of qualitative multiprojection images in only 3 min. per view, or quantifiable single projection high count images in 10 min. Ischemic defects may be observed in anginal patients without subjecting them to stress.
