Myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) offers 3D insights into heart blood flow and viability. Advanced agents and techniques improve imaging, though reconstruction challenges remain.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Radiology
  • Nuclear Medicine

Background:

  • Myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is crucial for assessing cardiac blood flow and tissue viability.
  • Various perfusion agents (thallium-201, technetium-99m-sestamibi, 99mTc-teboroxime) offer flexibility in imaging and interpretation.
  • Pharmacological stress agents (dipyridamole, adenosine, dobutamine) provide alternatives for patients unable to exercise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the capabilities and limitations of myocardial perfusion SPECT.
  • To highlight the role of different perfusion agents and pharmacological stress.
  • To discuss challenges in SPECT reconstruction and potential solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current myocardial perfusion SPECT techniques and agents.
