Usefulness of Rapid Low-Dose/High-Dose 1-Day 99mTc-Sestamibi ECG-Gated Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography

Clinical Feasibility of Simultaneous Acquisition Rest ^99mTc/Stress ²⁰¹Tl Dual-Isotope Myocardial Perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography With Semiconductor Camera

“…Upright imaging would also be appropriate to separate the heart and subdiaphragmatic activity (eg, liver or bowel uptake) with assistance of gastric bubble using soda. 18 Single position imaging would therefore reduce total examination time and increase patient satisfaction.…”

“…Prior to the first acquisition, patients were asked to drink 100 ml of soda in order to produce the space between the heart and subdiaphragmatic activity. 18 The first simultaneous rest 99 m Tc-tetrofosmin/stress 201 Tl acquisition (10 min) was started after the end of adenosine stress in an upright position. The second simultaneous rest 99 m Tc-tetrofosmin/redistribution 201 Tl acquisition (10 min) was then done 30 min after the first acquisition (Figure 1).…”

Incremental Prognostic Value of Cardiac Function Assessed by ECG-Gated Myocardial Perfusion SPECT for the Prediction of Future Acute Coronary Syndrome

“…4,5,7 The interobserver reproducibility of scoring in our laboratory, determined by Cohen's kappa analysis, has been reported to be excellent (kappa=0.92). 5 In this model, the left anterior descending artery distribution territory comprised 10 segments (segments 1-3, 7-9, 13, 14, 19 and 20), the left circumflex artery comprised 5 segments (segments 5, 6, 11, 12, 17 and 18) and the right coronary artery comprised 4 segments (segments 4, 10, 15 and 16) (Fig 1).…”
