Impact of Patient Motion on Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Diagnostic Integrity: Part 2

From: Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology | Date: September 1, 2004| Author: Wheat, Janelle M; Currie, Geoffrey M | Copyright information

Objective: Advances in ^sup 99m^Tc-based radiopharmaceuticals and multiple-detector gantries have the potential to increase the significance of patient motion on the diagnostic integrity of myocardial perfusion SPECT acquisitions.

Methods: An experimental study was used to evaluate the effect of various patient motions on the diagnostic integrity of myocardial perfusion SPECT data using 522 motion simulations generated from a technically and diagnostically normal dataset.
