Compensation of Cross-Contamination in Simultaneous 201Tl/99mTc Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging
Introduction: It is a common protocol to use 201Tl for the rest and 99mTc for the stress cardiac SPECT imaging. Theoretically, both types of imaging may be performed simultaneously using different energy windows for each radionuclide. However, a potential limitation is the cross-contamination of scattered photons from 99mTc and collimator X-rays into the 201Tl energy window. We used a middle en...
متن کاملCerebral gangliogliomas: preoperative grading using FDG-PET and 201Tl-SPECT.
PURPOSE To date there have been only scattered case reports comparing the nuclear medicine characteristics of gangliogliomas with their histologic grade. We sought to determine the relative usefulness of nuclear medicine scanning, CT, and MR imaging in predicting the histologic grade of these tumors. METHODS Eleven cases of pathologically proved ganglioglioma were analyzed retrospectively. Pr...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion SPECT: Perfusion quantification
Different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) studies are routinely used. Several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically. Interpretation of the MPS should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed SPECT slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. Quantification should be...
متن کاملThe retention indices of 201Tl-SPECT in brain tumors.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the utility of 201Tl SPECT in the differential diagnosis of intracranial tumors and to determine the relationship between 201Tl uptake and histological types. METHODS Thirty-eight patients (19 males and 19 females) with thirty-eight brain tumors were evaluated with 201Tl-SPECT. The early and delayed 201Tl uptake ratio was calculated, and the reten...
متن کاملDetermination of optimum filter in myocardial SPECT: A phantom study
Background: In myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging, images are degraded by photon attenuation, the distance-dependent collimator, detector response and photons scatter. Filters greatly affect quality of nuclear medicine images Materials and Methods: A phantom simulating heart left ventricle was built. About 1mCi of 99mTc was injected into the phantom. Images were taken from this phantom. Some fi...
