Filter 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 کاملHigh-Resolution Imaging of Myocardial Perfusion
INTRODUCTION Dynamic imaging of myocardial perfusion imaging after injection of a contrast agent is a major tool for noninvasive assessment of the physiological conditions of heart tissues. To make myocardial perfusion imaging more practically useful, the dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) images need to have high spatiotemporal resolution, which cannot be achieved by the conventional imaging meth...
متن کاملStress thallium-201/rest technetium-99m sequential dual isotope high-speed myocardial perfusion imaging.
OBJECTIVES Our purpose was to describe a novel, rapid stress thallium-201 (Tl-201)/rest technetium-99m (Tc-99m) agent myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) protocol (Tl/Tc) with a high-speed MPI scanner and to compare this protocol with a standard rest/stress Tc-99m agent protocol (Tc/Tc) with respect to image quality and radiation dosimetry. BACKGROUND Recent advances in gamma camera technology...
متن کاملHigh-speed myocardial perfusion imaging: dawn of a new era in nuclear cardiology?
During the past 2 decades, myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has become fully embedded in the practice of clinical cardiology. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) cameras are readily available in both the hospital and the office setting. The stress protocols for MPI, with either exercise or pharmacologic stress, are well established, straightforward, and easily implemented. And ...
متن کاملMyocardial 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...
