Investigating Acquisition Protocols for Gated, Dynamic Myocardial Imaging in PET and SPECT
Abstract
Typical myocardial SPECT imaging using Tc99m labelled sestamibi or PET imaging using N-13 labelled ammonia assumes that the amount of tracer uptake within the myocardium correlates directly with myocardial blood flow. However, this assumption has been seen to only be accurate over a limited range of blood flow rates. The uptake of alternative ligands such as Tc99m labelled Teboroxime or O–15 labelled H2O have been seen to better correlate with …
