Filter 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 کاملTwo-day stress-rest lower limbs perfusion scan in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging
Introduction: Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We aimed to perform Lower Limb Perfusion Scan (LLPS) in patients referred for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) and estimate prevalence of PVD in subgroups with normal and abnormal MPI results. We also compared quantitative indices of LLPS in pati...
متن کاملSpurious lung perfusion ventilation defect on planar ventilation-perfusion scan detected by SPECT imaging
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality which needs prompt recognition. Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is a well-established diagnostic test for evaluation of suspected PE. We report a 32-year-old woman with history of rheumatologic disease and acute dyspnea, who was referred for V/Q scintigraphy. The planar images revealed multiple mismatched defects through...
متن کاملPerfusion Imaging
A cohort of 1,702 patients was referred for exercise Tcsestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) from January 1, 1991, to January 1, 1993, for whom follow-up could be obtained. Patients were followed for 20 6 5 months. Of the 1,131 who had normal or equivocal scan results, 1 cardiac death and 1 myocardial infarction occurred (0.2% event rate), and 17 cardiac deaths and 26 non...
متن کاملDiffusion & Perfusion Weighted Imaging
This talk will shed some first light on the two imaging concepts diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI). On the one side one may criticize that for the lecture time given, this will definitely be an incredible or even impossible task: To give sufficient credit to both of these importantant imaging concepts. On the other side one could say: ’Come on, let’s talk abo...
