Assessment of Regional Myocardial and Renal Blood Flow With CoppermPTSM and Positron Emission Tomography

چکیده
We recently demonstrated in isolated, perfused hearts that radiolabeled pyruvaldehyde bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazonato)copper(II) (Cu-PTSM) is well extracted throughout a range of conditions including ischemia, hypoxia, and hyperemia. Once extracted, binding of radioactivity by the isolated heart was essentially irreversible, giving this tracer microspherelike qualities. Because Cu-PTSM can be readily prepared with the generator-produced positronemitting copper 62 and other gammaor positron-emitting copper radionuclides, we evaluated its usefulness for measuring regional myocardial and renal blood flow in vivo in intact dogs at rest, after ischemia, or after coronary hyperemia was induced by intravenous administration of dipyridamole. After intravenous administration of radiolabeled Cu-PTSM, the tracer cleared rapidly from the blood. Myocardial uptake of single photon-emitting 67Cu-labeled Cu-PTSM

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) applied with positron-emitting flow tracers such as 13N-ammonia and 82Rubidium enables the quantification of both myocardial perfusion and myocardial blood flow (MBF) in milliliters per gram per minute for coronary artery disease (CAD) detection and characterization. The detection of a regional myocardial perfusion defect during vasomoto...
متن کاملQuantification of regional myocardial perfusion with generator-produced 62Cu-PTSM and positron emission tomography.
BACKGROUND Noninvasive assessment of regional myocardial perfusion at rest and after stress is important for the objective evaluation of the effects of coronary artery disease and its response to therapy. Centers that do not have cyclotrons rely on generator-produced radioisotopes for assessment of regional myocardial perfusion with positron emission tomography (PET). The aim of the present stu...

Background. Both ['3N ammonia and ['5Olwater have been used to quantify myocardial blood flow with positron emission tomography using appropriate tracer kinetic models. A direct comparison of the two tracers with radioactive microspheres has not been performed in the same experimental preparation. Methods and Results. The two tracers have been tested for myocardial blood flow quantification in ...
