Cardiac Perfusion and Innervation Assessment by CZT-SPECT: Have a Look to Simultaneous Dual-isotope Protocol

Abstract Purpose of Review The purpose this review is to provide a summary on the status art simultaneous perfusion-innervation imaging by CZT-SPECT and clarify its potential applications in clinical practice. Recent Findings Introduction CZT cameras represented critical breakthrough nuclear cardiology. Although it has been demonstrated that cardiac innervation may be easily assessed CZT-SPECT, as for now, there are only few studies investigating perfusion with dual-isotope cameras. Summary Perfusion assessment camera feasible tool, allowing reduce radiation dose exposure acquisition time, thanks better spatial, temporal, energy resolution, higher compliance patients. Moreover, technique allows integrate regional evaluation myocardial perfusion/innervation status, providing more accurate information risk stratification different disease.
