Case Report: Multivessel Coronary Disease Assessment with SPECT 99mTc-Sestamibi and Rubidium-82 PET/CT
Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with technetium99m-Sestamibi (99mTc-sestamibi) allows early detection and evaluation of disease extension and cardiovascular risk in patients with suspected or established CAD, helping in decision-making regarding the start and type of therapy to be implemented.1 This method has been widely used, but shows difficulties in some situations such as balanced multiv...
متن کاملReverse perfusion pattern in myocardial spect with 99mTc-SestaMIBI
RATIONALE The aim of our study was to investigate the myocardial perfusion deficit in rest images as compared to stress images in myocardial scintigraphy (MS). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to investigate the reverse perfusion (RP) pattern in MS. METHODS AND RESULTS 263 patients were enrolled in the study (72 females and 191 males; mean age 65.7 ± 9.5 years old). Mean body mass index ...
متن کاملFilter selection for 99mTc-Sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging [Persian]
Myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging with Tc99m-sestamibi is the most accurate non-invasive means of detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of perfusion abnormalities in the patients with coronary stenosis. Though simple and straight forward the results produced by the technique is very much affected by the details being used. One of the main problems with the test, wh...
متن کاملParathyroid scintigraphy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism: 99mTc sestamibi SPECT and SPECT/CT.
The clinical diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism is based largely on serum laboratory test results, as patients often are asymptomatic. Surgery, often with bilateral exploration of the neck, has been considered the definitive treatment for symptomatic disease. However, given that approximately 90% of cases are due to a single parathyroid adenoma, a better treatment may be the selective sur...
متن کاملComparison of rubidium-82 positron emission tomography and thallium-201 SPECT imaging for detection of coronary artery disease.
The diagnostic performance of rubidium-82 (Rb-82) positron emission tomography (PET) and thallium-201 (Tl-201) single-photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT) for detecting coronary artery disease was investigated in 81 patients (52 men, 29 women). PET studies using 60 mCi of Rb-82 were performed at baseline and after intravenous infusion of 0.56 mg/kg dipyridamole in conjunction with handgr...
