Temporal resolution of multiharmonic phase analysis of ECG-gated myocardial perfusion SPECT studies

Evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function after kidney transplantation by Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (KT) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-SPECT) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...

Gated Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging

Comparison of the myocardial perfusion and wall motion results by ECG-Gated 99mTc-MIBI SPECT, before and after CABG for evaluation of myocardial viability [Persian]

It is of value to determine the amount of viable myocardial tissue in patients suffering from chronic coronary artery disease and ventricular dysfunction. Having the capability of evaluating both myocardial perfusion and function, simultaneously, myocardial scanning by ECG-Gated is an appropriate method for this purpose. The aim of this study was to compare the results of myocardial perfu...

Myocardial perfusion SPECT: Perfusion quantification

Different software tools for quantification of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) studies are routinely used. Several perfusion parameters can be computed automatically.  Interpretation of the MPS should start with visual inspection of the rotating planar images, visual analysis of reconstructed SPECT slices and then quantitative analysis to confirm the visual impression. Quantification should be...

Normal values of left ventricular functional indices in gated 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion SPECT

  Introduction: Although left ventricular(LV) function parameters measured by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GSPECT) have been validated, experimental data have revealed that the calculated the LV function parameters using GSPECT are affected by patient populations as well as particular acquisition and processing conditions. We tried to determine the normal values ...
