ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine whether the left ventricular ejection fractions (EFs), measured on a high-sensitivity CZT single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)-camera with a 70% reduction in recording times and a prevention of EF overestimation through an additional count-calibration, are concordant with reference EF from planar radionuclide angiography (2D-RNA).METHODS:
An additional 10-minute CZT-SPECT recording was performed in patients referred to 2D-RNA for cardiomyopathy (n = 23) or chemotherapy monitoring (n = 50) with an in vivo red blood cell labeling with 850 MBq [Formula see text]. The EF, obtained from CZT-SPECT with 100% (SPECT100) or 30% (SPECT30) projection times and with a SPECT-count calibration on the 2D-RNA counts of corresponding cavity volumes, were compared to EF from 2D-RNA.RESULTS:
Strong and equivalent relationships were documented between the EF from 2D-RNA and the calibrated EF from SPECT100 (y = 0.89x + 6.62; R2 = 0.87) and SPECT30 (y = 0.87x + 8.40; R2 = 0.85), and the mean EF from SPECT100 (54% ± 15%) and SPECT30 (53% ± 16%) were close to that from 2D-RNA (55% ± 15%). However, upward shifts in these mean values were documented in the absence of count calibration for both SPECT100 (60% ± 18%) and SPECT30 (60% ± 18%).CONCLUSION:
Left ventricular EF may be determined on a high-sensitivity CZT-camera, a 70% reduction in injected activities, and an additional count-calibration for further enhancing the concordance with 2D-RNA values.Palavras-chave
