The appearance of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries on myocardial perfusion imaging

J Nucl Med Technol. 2015 Mar;43(1):68-9. doi: 10.2967/jnmt.114.139592. Epub 2014 Aug 28.

Abstract

We present a case of incidentally discovered congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA), initially seen on stress-rest myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). ccTGA has a characteristic appearance on MPI, which reflects the functional alterations associated with this condition.

Keywords: MPI; cardiology (clinical); ccTGA; correlative imaging; transposition of the great arteries.
