چکیده
Quantitative cardiac imaging in clinical routine nowadays encompasses the determination of global functional myocardial parameters such as left ventricular ejection fraction, volumes and myocardial mass. However, different strategies have been proposed within the last decades to acquire and quantify data in terms of myocardial perfusion, blood flow in the heart and the great vessels as well as regional myocardial wall motion

Determination of normal ranges of regional and global phase parameters using gated myocardial perfusion imaging with Cedars-Sinai’s QGS software
Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging using gated SPECT and phase analysis is an effective tool in evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony. The purpose of this study was to determine the normal ranges of global and regional phase parameters. Methods: A total of 100 patients with normal resting and stress electrocardiograms, low pretest likelihood for c...
متن کاملAutomated versus visual segmental scoring: are we ready to replace the art of regional wall motion assessment?
Echocardiography is the most widely used noninvasive test for assessing the structure and function of the heart, accounting for 14% of overall Medicare expenditures for imaging in 2007.1 Despite the availability of a variety of validated quantitative methods for assessing chamber size and cardiac function, many elements of echocardiographic interpretation remain qualitative rather than quantita...
متن کاملInitial description of changes in wall motion parameters in normal subjects undergoing rest/regadenoson stress using a tagged MRI sequence
Background Changes in global and regional wall motion between rest and stress are important prognostic markers, uncommonly observed with vasodilator stress radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Cardiac MRI (CMR) with tagging has the potential to more precisely quantify normal and abnormal ventricular wall motion responses. We herein report CMR findings in 5 very low-likelihood patien...
متن کاملQuantification of regional myocardial oxygenation by magnetic resonance imaging: validation with positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND A comprehensive evaluation of myocardial ischemia requires measures of both oxygen supply and demand. Positron emission tomography (PET) is currently the gold standard for such evaluations, but its use is limited because of its ionizing radiation, limited availability, and high cost. A cardiac MRI method was developed for assessing myocardial oxygenation. The purpose of this study wa...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effect of Injected Dose of 99mTc- MIBI on the Quantitative Parameters of Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Background: 99mTc-MIBI cardiac perfusion scanning is recognized as a clinically useful method in evaluating coronary artery disease. By the implementation of new imaging techniques and systems, it seems possible to obtain high-quality images with a lower dose of radiopharmaceuticals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of injection dose of 99mTc-MIBI on quantitative parameters ...
