Fig. 8From: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfer in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: single-blind, multicenter, randomized controlled trialRepresentative 99mTc-MIBI positron emission tomograms in a short-axis view, b vertical long-axis view, c horizontal long-axis view, and d bull’s-eye view. Before operation, the multiple areas showed persistent defects (arrows). Six months after cell transplantation, the same area show a restoration of 99mTc-MIBI uptake, suggesting a return of the myocardial blood perfusion with increased tracer intensity in the infarcted area after versus before cell infusionBack to article page
