概括
三种软件工具 (PMOD,MIM,QGS) 可以在小鼠的封闭式18F-FDG PET/CT成像中评估心脏体积. 然而,心脏功能分析的差异意味着这些工具在小鼠研究中不能互换使用.
科学领域:
- 核医学是一种核医学.
- 心血管成像 - 心血管成像
- 小动物研究小动物研究
背景情况:
- 门式正电子发射断层扫描 (PET) 成像软件工具使用不同的算法来分析心脏功能.
- 之前的研究表明,不同的软件工具在人类研究中可能不会产生可互换的结果.
- 这项研究比较左心室参数,这些参数来自于使用三个商业软件包:PMOD,MIM和QGS的小鼠的封闭式18F-FDG PET/CT成像.
研究的目的:
- 评估和比较PMOD,MIM和QGS软件在小鼠左心室体积和功能评估中的性能,使用封闭的18F-FDG PET/CT.
- 确定这些软件工具是否为小鼠心脏分析提供一致和可互换的结果.
主要方法:
- 在麻醉下,健康小鼠接受了ECG-gated 18F-FDG PET/CT成像.
- 重建的PET图像使用PMOD,MIM和QGS软件进行分析.
- 用布兰德-阿尔特曼分析量化和比较心脏体积 (终端透缩体积 [EDV],终端静脉体积 [ESV]) 和功能 (中风体积 [SV],射出分数 [EF]).
主要成果:
- 心脏体积 (EDV,ESV,SV) 在PMOD,MIM和QGS之间显示出良好的相关性.
- 然而,喷射分数 (EF) 在软件包之间显示出不良的相关性.
- 类间和类内相关系数超过0.9,表明每个软件中的可重复性,用于体积和功能评估.
结论:
- PMOD,MIM和QGS都是可行的,用于评估小动物封闭18F-FDG PET/CT成像中的心脏体积.
- 心脏功能分析中与软件相关的显著差异,特别是对于射出分数,排除了它们在小鼠研究中的可互换使用.
- 在临床前研究中选择用于定量心脏分析的软件时,研究人员应该意识到这些差异.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Positron Emission Tomography
4.3K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
115
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
