Parametric images of myocardial viability using a single 15O-H2O PET/CT scan.
UNLABELLED Perfusable tissue index (PTI) is a marker of myocardial viability and requires acquisition of transmission, (15)O-CO, and (15)O-H(2)O scans. The aim of this study was to generate parametric PTI images from a (15)O-H(2)O PET/CT scan without an additional (15)O-CO scan. METHODS Data from 20 patients undergoing both (15)O-H(2)O and (15)O-CO scans were used, assessing correlation betwe...
متن کاملTwo-day stress-rest lower limbs perfusion scan in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging
Introduction: Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We aimed to perform Lower Limb Perfusion Scan (LLPS) in patients referred for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) and estimate prevalence of PVD in subgroups with normal and abnormal MPI results. We also compared quantitative indices of LLPS in pati...
متن کاملComparison of plasma leptin levels in patients with normal, low and high risk myocardial perfusion scan [Persian]
Introduction: Leptin, secreted from adipose tissue may have some correlation with coronary artery disease according to some reports in literature. The mean concentration of plasma leptin in patients with normal and abnormal myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and relation of leptin levels, independently to abnormality in MPI after correction for body mass index (BMI) was evaluated. Methods...
متن کاملChest Pain with Normal Thallium-201 Myocardial Perfusion Image - Is It Really Normal?
BACKGROUND Thallium-201 myocardial perfusion image (MPI) is commonly used to detect coronary artery disease in patients with chest pain. Although a normal thallium-201 MPI result is generally considered to be a good prognosis and further coronary angiogram is not recommended, there are still a few patients who suffer from unexpected acute coronary events. The aim of this study was to investigat...
متن کاملMyocardial perfusion scintigraphy: interpretation of a normal scan
Although a number of imaging modalities are available to non-invasively evaluate patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial perfusion scintig-raphy (MPS) with single photon emission computed tomog-raphy (SPECT) has been the workhorse for this purpose for over decades [1]. Notwithstanding its high sensitivity to detect ischaemia (85–90 %), a caveat of a normal per...
