BackgroundWe compared a dedicated cardiac camera with a traditional system for left ventricular (LV) functional measurements using gated blood-pool imaging.Methods24-frame gated planar images were obtained from 48 patients in an LAO orientation for 6M counts/view on a standard gamma camera. Immediately thereafter, 24-frame ECG-gated data were obtained for 8 minutes on a dedicated cardiac SPECT camera. The gated SPECT image volumes were iteratively reconstructed and then transferred offline. In-house software was used to reproject the images into a 24-frame gated planar format. Both the original and the reprojected gated planar datasets were analyzed using semiautomated software to determine ejection fraction (EF), ventricular volume (end diastolic volume, EDV), peak ejection rate (PER), and peak filling rate (PFR).ResultsThe difference in EF values averaged 0.4% ± 4.4%. The correlation in EF wasr≥ 0.94 (P< .01) with a linear regression slope of 0.98. Correlation of the EDV wasr≥ 0.86 (P< .01), but the volumes from the dedicated cardiac camera were smaller (linear regression slope was 0.6). Correlation of PFR and PER werer= 0.91 andr≥ 0.83, respectively (P< .01 for both).ConclusionsReprojection of 24-frame gated blood-pool SPECT images is an effective means of obtaining LV functional measurements with a dedicated cardiac SPECT camera using standard 2D-planar analysis tools.
