Routine measurements of left and right ventricular output by gated blood pool emission tomography in comparison with thermodilution measurements: a preliminary study

Abstract: The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the accuracy of left and right ventricular output computed from a semi-automatic processing of tomographic radionuclide ventriculography data (TRVG) in comparison with the conventional thermodilution method. Twenty patients with various heart diseases were prospectively included in the study. Thermodilution and TRVG acquisitions were carried out on the same day for all patients. Analysis of gated blood pool slices was performed using a watershed-based segmentat… Show more

“…In the last decade, segmentation software packages have been validated (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16), and optimized methods for the extraction of local time-activity curves from GBPS segmented studies have been described (32). An algorithm for extracting local systolic parameters more accurately than with the usual multiharmonic fits has also been proposed (17).…”

“…In the last decade, software packages dedicated to the segmentation of gated blood-pool SPECT (GBPS) acquisitions have been developed and validated, making possible the widespread clinical use of this technique (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). However, in routine clinical settings, the time-activity curve that characterizes the wall motion at the scale of a single voxel on the surface of a ventricle involves the variation of limited activity and is thus affected by relatively large error from the random Poisson noise.…”

“…Thus, it may permit simultaneous assessment at equilibrium of the LV and RV parameters [9,17,18]. Regional ventricular function measurements such as local EF or local times of end-systole are also available with this technique [19][20][21][22].…”

“…The previously described and validated Tompool Ò algorithm 5,7,9,27 was slightly modified and adapted to run on standard desktop personal computers running under Windows operating systems (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA). Iterative thinnings that were used to produce a skeleton by influence zones 5 were replaced by a full 3D immersion approach taking adjacent slices into consideration.…”

“…Thus, it may permit simultaneous assessment at equilibrium of the LV and RV parameters. [5][6][7][8] Regional ventricular function measurements like local EF or local times of end-systole are also available with this technique. [9][10][11][12] However, as for all nuclear medicine procedures, soft-tissue attenuation is a technical limitation when assessing tracer distribution, even with tomographic data and especially when only a 180°projection set is used.…”
