Efficacy of full-fat milk and diluted lemon juice in reducing infra-cardiac activity of 99mTc sestamibi during myocardial perfusion imaging
BACKGROUND When using (99m)Tc sestamibi for myocardial perfusion imaging, increased splanchnic activity creates a problem in the visual and quantitative interpretation of the inferior and infero-septal walls of the left ventricle. We sought to determine whether the administration of diluted lemon juice or full-fat milk would be effective in reducing interfering infra-cardiac activity and theref...
متن کاملThe effect of pomegranate juice, lemon juice and secanjabin in reducing infra-cardiac activity of 99mTc-MIBI during myocardial perfusion imaging in comparison with fatty food
Introduction: Eating fatty food is a common technique for decreasing extra cardiac activity, but sometimes patients refuse to eat fatty foods due to various reasons during myocardial perfusion imaging. The aim of this study is to introduce an alternative method for patients who are not able to use fatty foods to accelerate the transit of radiotracer from the liver. <stron...
متن کاملFilter 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 کاملthe effect of milk, water and lemon juice on various subdiaphragmatic activity-related artifacts in myocardial perfusion imaging
background subdiaphragmatic activity can produce subdiaphragmatic-related artifacts, which can degrade the quality of myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi). objectives we examined the impact of drinking milk, water, and lemon juice on different subdiaphragmatic-related artifacts by using 99mtc-sestamibi myocardial single-photon emission computed tomography (spect) in order to determine a feasible ...
متن کاملLarge abdominal photopenic area on 99mTc-sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging.
(99m)Tc-sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging is frequently performed in conjunction with exercise or pharmacologic stress testing for evaluation of coronary heart disease. Interpretation of these studies includes systematic review of unprocessed rotating projectional images for evaluation of cardiac size as well as the presence of motion or attenuation artifacts. Occasionally, incidental nonc...
