Stress-first single photon emission computed myocardial perfusion imaging
BACKGROUND Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single photon emission tomography (SPET) is widely used in coronary artery disease evaluation. Recently major dosimetric concerns have arisen. The aim of this study was to evaluate if a pre-test scoring system could predict the results of stress SPET MPI, thus avoiding two radionuclide injections. METHODS All consecutive patients (n=309) unde...
متن کاملLABORATORY INVESTIGATION SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY Quantitation of size of relative myocardial perfusion defect by single-photon emission computed tomography
The purpose of this study was to validate a semiautomatic method for quantitating the size of relative myocardial perfusion defects from single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) images. We compared the size of the image defect in vivo, expressed as percent of involved left ventricle, as determined by this method with the anatomic size of the defect in vitro in 19 dogs. To test the me...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion imaging with 201Tl.
The object of this review is to provide information about (201)Tl-thallous chloride in radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging. This technique has experienced a recent resurgence because of the shortage of (99m)Tc. After reading this article, the technologist will be able to describe the properties and uptake mechanism of (201)Tl, the procedure for myocardial perfusion imaging with this agent...
متن کاملImage distortion and correction in single photon emission CT.
The task of single photon emission CT (SPECT) is to visualize the physiological function of various organs with the help of radiopharmaceuticals. But the projection data used for image reconstruction are distorted by several factors, making the reconstruction of a quantitative SPECT image very difficult in most cases. These factors include the attenuation and scattering of gamma rays, collimato...
متن کاملImage Optimization in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography by Hardware Modifications with Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction: In Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), the projection data used for image reconstruction are distorted by several factors, including attenuation and scattering of gamma rays, collimator structure, data acquisition method, organ motion, and washout of radiopharmaceuticals. All these make reconstruction of a quantitative SPECT image very difficult. Simulation of a SP...
