Myocardial Defect Detection Using PET-CT: Phantom Studies
It is expected that both noise and activity distribution can have impact on the detectability of a myocardial defect in a cardiac PET study. In this work, we performed phantom studies to investigate the detectability of a defect in the myocardium for different noise levels and activity distributions. We evaluated the performance of three reconstruction schemes: Filtered Back-Projection (FBP), O...
متن کاملPhantom studies for estimation of defect size on cardiac (18)F SPECT and PET: implications for myocardial viability assessment.
UNLABELLED SPECT with (18)F-FDG has emerged as an alternative to dedicated PET for the assessment of myocardial viability. However, whether FDG SPECT can reliably quantify the extent of viable and scarred myocardium is uncertain. The aim of this study was to investigate whether SPECT with an (18)F-labeled agent would provide information on defect size similar to that provided by dedicated PET. ...

متن کاملA novel dual energy CT-based attenuation correction method in PET/CT systems: A phantom study
In present PET/CT scanners, PET attenuation correction is performed by relying on the information given by CT scan. In the CT-based attenuation correction methods, dual-energy technique (DECT) is the most accurate approach, which has been limited due to the increasing patient dose. In this feasibility study, we have introduced a new method that can implement dual-en...
متن کاملClinical myocardial perfusion PET/CT.
The field of nuclear cardiology is witnessing growing interest in the use of cardiac PET for the evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The available evidence suggests that myocardial perfusion PET provides an accurate means for diagnosing obstructive CAD, which appears superior to SPECT especially in the obese and in those undergoing pharmacologic stress. The ability to rec...
