    Determining right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) using first-pass radionuclide angiography revealed significant differences between projections. The anterior-posterior view yielded lower RVEF values compared to left and right anterior oblique views.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Cardiovascular Imaging
    • Radiopharmacology

    Background:

    • Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) is a critical parameter in cardiovascular assessment.
    • Accurate RVEF measurement is essential for diagnosing and managing various heart conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the influence of different projections on RVEF measurements using first-pass radionuclide angiography.
    • To determine if projectional differences affect the reliability of RVEF assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten healthy volunteers underwent first-pass radionuclide angiography using 99Tcm-labelled red blood cells.
    • RVEF was measured in anterior-posterior (AP), left anterior oblique (LAO), and right anterior oblique (RAO) projections.
    • Data analysis included statistical comparison of RVEF values across projections.

    Main Results:

    • Initially, no significant differences in mean RVEF were observed across the three projections (P = 10%).
    • After excluding outlier data, the mean RVEF in the AP projection (38.2%) was significantly lower (P = 1%) than in LAO (44.3%) and RAO (45.2%) projections.
    • Right ventricle histograms were influenced by activity from the right atrium and great vessels in all projections.

    Conclusions:

    • The classic first-pass radionuclide angiography technique is sensitive to projectional artifacts.
    • LAO and RAO projections provide more reliable RVEF measurements than the AP projection.
    • Careful consideration of projection is necessary for accurate RVEF assessment in first-pass studies.
