Data transfer of DaTSCAN SPECT imaging between gamma camera types is feasible. Normalizing phantom data is recommended for consistent results across different SPECT imaging systems.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiopharmacology

Background:

  • DaTSCAN SPECT imaging is crucial for diagnosing neurodegenerative disorders.
  • Standardization of DaTSCAN data acquisition and processing across different gamma camera systems is essential for reliable multicenter studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of transferring DaTSCAN SPECT data between various gamma camera types.
  • To compare the relative striatal uptake results obtained using the QuantiSPECT program on different SPECT imaging systems.

Main Methods:

  • A DaTSCAN phantom filled with 123I was imaged on seven different gamma camera types.
  • SPECT data were processed using QuantiSPECT with three distinct algorithms (two-box, three-box, crescent).
  • Filling concentration variations and inter/intra-operator variability were assessed.

Main Results:

  • A 10% variation in filling concentration was observed and compensated for.
  • Inter-camera variability ranged from 5-15% depending on the processing algorithm.
  • Intra-operator variability was 5-12%, with no statistical variation between operators.

Conclusions:

  • Transferring DaTSCAN SPECT databases across different camera types is feasible.
  • Acquiring all data on a single camera type or using phantom data for normalization is recommended for optimal consistency.
