Gated myocardial perfusion SPECT, a growing technique, offers both perfusion and function data. Automated analysis of this nuclear imaging data is advancing for left ventricular function measurement and clinical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Imaging

Background:

  • Gated myocardial perfusion SPECT is increasingly used, providing both perfusion and function data.
  • Gated blood pool SPECT, though less common, shows potential against planar imaging.
  • Automation of gated SPECT data analysis is a growing area of research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review advances in automated analysis of gated SPECT data.
  • To cover the development of algorithms for quantitative left ventricular function measurement.
  • To discuss validation, reproducibility, and clinical applications of these quantitative capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of algorithms for automatic/semi-automatic quantitative measurement of left ventricular function.
  • Assessment of validation and reproducibility of measured parameters.
