Abstract
The clinical usefulness of the infarct scintigram in diagnosing myocardial infarction in humans, with emphasis on separating those clinical situations where the infarct scintigram provides important diagnostic information from those where it yields primarily confirmatory data was assessed.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
