the age of reason for gated spect mpi to deal with cardiac dyssynchrony

Quantitative gated SPECT-derived phase analysis on gated myocardial perfusion SPECT detects left ventricular dyssynchrony and predicts response to cardiac resynchronization therapy.

UNLABELLED The significance of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony for the prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been demonstrated. Parameters reflecting LV dyssynchrony (phase SD, histogram bandwidth) can be derived from gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GMPS) using phase analysis. The feasibility of LV dyssynchrony assessment with phase analysis on GMPS using Qu...

Calculation of ejection fraction in gated SPECT.

TO THE EDITOR: In a recent article (1), my friend and colleague Grant Gullberg presented a method for the calculation of ejection fraction in gated myocardial perfusion SPECT studies. The crucial point is the avoidance of edge detection. In their method, the authors used the maximal activity plane as the ventricular delineator. The originality of the method resides in the latter, not in the for...
