Effect of Post-Reconstruction Gaussian Filtering on Image Quality and Myocardial Blood Flow Measurement with N-13 Ammonia PET
Objective(s): In order to evaluate the effect of post-reconstruction Gaussian filtering on image quality and myocardial blood flow (MBF) measurement by dynamic N-13 ammonia positron emission tomography (PET), we compared various reconstruction and filtering methods with image characteristics. Methods: Dynamic PET images of three patients with coronary artery disease (male-female ratio of 2:1; a...
متن کاملMultisoftware reproducibility study of stress and rest myocardial blood flow assessed with 3D dynamic PET/CT and a 1-tissue-compartment model of 82Rb kinetics.
UNLABELLED Routine quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) requires robust and reproducible processing of dynamic image series. The goal of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of 3 highly automated software programs commonly used for absolute MBF and flow reserve (stress/rest MBF) assessment with (82)Rb PET imaging. METHODS Dynamic rest and stress (82)Rb PET scans were select...
متن کاملBicycle exercise stress in PET for assessment of coronary flow reserve: repeatability and comparison with adenosine stress.
UNLABELLED PET allows absolute measurements of myocardial blood flow (MBF). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility and repeatability of supine bicycle exercise stress, compared with standard adenosine stress, in PET. METHODS In 11 healthy volunteers, MBF was assessed at rest, during adenosine-induced (140 microg/kg/min over 7 min) hyperemia, and immediately after supine ...
متن کاملRepeatability of rest and hyperemic myocardial blood flow measurements with 82Rb dynamic PET.
UNLABELLED The repeatability of rest and hyperemic myocardial blood flow (MBF) measurements using 82Rb PET has not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term repeatability of such measurements. METHODS Fifteen healthy volunteers underwent rest and pharmacologic stress 82Rb PET, repeated 60 min apart. RESULTS There was no significant difference in repeated rest M...
متن کاملRepeatability of regional myocardial blood flow calculation in 82Rb PET imaging
BACKGROUND We evaluated the repeatability of the calculation of myocardial blood flow (MBF) at rest and pharmacological stress, and calculated the coronary flow reserve (CFR) utilizing 82Rb PET imaging. The aim of the research was to prove high repeatability for global MBF and CFR values and good repeatability for regional MBF and CFR values. The results will have significant impact on cardiac ...
