Myocardial 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...

BACKGROUND/AIM Treadmill test combined with myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) is a commonly used technique in the assessment of coronary artery disease. There are many patients, however, who may not be able to undergo treadmill test. Such patients would benefit from pharmacological stress procedures combined with MPS. The most commonly used pharmacological agents for cardiac stress are co...
متن کاملQuantification of Absolute Myocardial Perfusion With Dynamic Positron Emission Tomography
Positron emission tomography (PET) was applied to the measurement of myocardial perfusion using the perfusion tracer 13N-labeled ammonia. 13N ammonia was delivered intravenously to 13 healthy volunteers both at rest and during supine bicycle exercise. Dynamic PET imaging was obtained in three cross-sectional planes for 10 minutes commencing with each injection. The left ventricle was divided in...

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the main cause of death in the western world, despite the considerable improvements in its diagnosis and therapy in the past few decades.1 Today, CAD is widely understood to constitute an advanced stage of atherosclerosis,2 that is to say, an inflammatory pathology involving both coronary and extracoronary arteries.3 The diagnosis of CAD is frequently based...
