The ADRECARD study demonstrated that determination of late HMR during cardiac MIBG imaging using dual isotope ((123)I and (99m)Tc) acquisition on a CZT camera (D-SPECT) is feasible in patients with heart failure. A linear correction based on the phantom study yielded a high agreement between (123)I MIBG HMR obtained using a CZT camera and that from conventional planar imaging.
This study found no impact of the acquisition mode (single vs dual) or the type of camera (DSPECT vs DNM 530c) on I andTc defect size and mismatch, providing a new step toward simultaneous dual-isotope acquisition for combined innervation and perfusion assessment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
