Cardiac-Output

SPECT Equilibrium Radionuclide Angiocardiography Acquisition and Processing Protocols,ardial perfusion images allows for acquisition of ECG-gated SPECT ERNA without additional hardware or modifications, the processing software and the calculation of global LVEF is not fully standardized and/or widely validated. It is likely that in the near future SPECT ERNA will be utilized with increasing frequency.

Artifacts and Technical Problems in Cardiac Imaging,th image quality. Artifacts are not unexpected in conventional SPECT imaging. During the process of external detection of relatively low-energy photons emanating from inside the body, tissue attenuation, noncardiac uptake, and motion may distort images.

Getting Started,Whether planning a new nuclear cardiology imaging facility, or renovating an existing laboratory, there are many factors to be considered and many decisions to be made. This chapter will highlight and discuss many of these practical decisions.

Laboratory Logistics,The operation of a nuclear cardiology imaging facility requires planning, scheduling, and modifications that depend on the types of procedures and the number and type of patients referred for imaging.

Display and Analysis of SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Images,The display and nomenclature of nuclear cardiology images have been standardized. The analysis of nuclear cardiology images should follow a systematic approach and sequence as outlined in the Imaging Guidelines for Nuclear Cardiology Procedures, Part 2 . (on line: .; menu: library and resources: guidelines and standards).

Display and Analysis of SPECT Equilibrium Radionuclide Angiocardiography,At time of this writing SPECT ERNA is not routinely performed in most nuclear cardiology laboratories. Consequently, no standards have been set for display and analysis of SPECT ERNA. It seems reasonable to use a similar approach for SPECT ERNA as for SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging.
