201Tl Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in a Case of Double-Inlet Left Ventricle: Correlate Anatomic Information of SPECT
Abstract:
Double-inlet left ventricle (DILV) is a congenital heart disease that only a single left ventricle and a rudimentary right ventricle are developed. Because of lack of anatomic landmark, interpretation of Tl myocardial perfusion imaging in DILV is essentially challenging for unusual anomaly. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with DILV who presented exertional dyspnea and tachycardia and underwent Tl SPECT. The anatomic characteristics of cardiac Tl SPECT are correlated with MRI. To obtain accurate interpretation in DILV, it is absolutely necessary to realize the anatomy relationship between perfusion imaging and anatomic imaging such as CT or MRI.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Correlation
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:
