Figure 3 Weighted sensitivities and specificities (mean ± 95% confidence interval) for the most widely used noninvasive viability techniques. Regional functional recovery after revascularization was the gold standard for viability. Open bars = sensitivity; solid bars = specificity. DE = dobutamine echo; FDG = F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose; MIBI = technetium-99m sestamibi; Tl-RI = thallium-201 reinjection; Tl-RR = thallium-201 rest-redistribution.
