Abstract:

Fixed myocardial defects in both stress and rest images, could be artifactual as a result of soft tissue attenuation. To increase specificity and identify the false positive results, we used gated technique to evaluate the wall motion and wall thickening as an index to differentiate real ischemic lesions from artifactual defects. 93 patients were studied. In 46 patients (48.8%) fixed perfusion defects were identified. Of these patients 10 (21.7%) had definite evidence of previous MI, 6 of whom (60%) showed abnormal gated SPECT findings. Among 36 patients without history of MI, 11 cases (30%) showed abnormal ventricular function (Probably due to silent MI) and 25 patients (70%) had normal function. The latter group was comprised of 13 females (52%) with fixed perfusion defects seen in the anterior, septal and apical segments of the myocardium. He results of the investigation indicate that using gated SPECT method with 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion studies increases specificity of the fixed myocardial defects and is highly recommended.

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 ...

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...

Gated 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion SPECT in patients with right bundle branch block but without evidence of coronary artery disease

Introduction: We aimed to investigate the effect of right bundle branch block (RBBB) on perfusion and functional parameters in dipyridamole stress/rest Tc99m-MIBI gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GSPECT) which may be helpful in interpretation of myocardial perfusion imaging. Methods: We studied 73 patients with low pre-test likelihood of coronary artery disease in two groups:  38 patients wit...
