Evaluation of some blood parameters alteration following low-dose radiation induced by Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Purpose: With increasing the usage of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease, we aimed to evaluate the side effects of low-dose radiation induced by this technique on blood elements, especially proteins and liver function factors.Materials and Methods: 40 eligible patients (Mean age: 54.6...
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 کاملApproaches to reducing radiation dose from radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging.
Radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) plays a vital role in the evaluation and management of patients with coronary artery disease. However, because of a steep growth in MPI in the mid 2000s, concerns about inappropriate use of MPI and imaging-related radiation exposure increased. In response, the professional societies developed appropriate-use criteria for MPI. Simultaneously, novel...
متن کاملEnabling high quality, low dose myocardial perfusion imaging for nuclear cardiology Philips BrightView XCT with Astonish
Over the past 20 years, SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has become an important tool for assessing patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite the success of SPECT MPI, laboratories that are performing these procedures are under pressure to reduce costs, improve image acquisition efficiency, reduce absorbed radiation dose, and improve diagnostic accuracy. Ph...
متن کاملThe Safety of Intravenous Dipyridamole Thallium Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Clinical data on 3,911 patients were collected from 64 individual investigators to evaluate the safety ofintravenous dipyridamole-thallium imaging as an alternative to exercise thallium imaging for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. There were two deaths because of myocardial infarctions, two nonfatal myocardial infarctions, and six cases of acute bronchospasm. Chest pain occurred in 77...
