We investigated the reproducibility of an automatic quantitative algorithm for measuring
regional myocardial wall motion and systolic thickening. Methods: 99mTc-sestamibi gated …

Purpose Electrocardiograph-gated myocardial SPECT permits a quantitative assessment of
global and regional functions by quantitative gated SPECT software. To validate quantitative …

Quantitation of regional myocardial function is valuable in patients with coronary artery
disease. This study assessed normal heterogeneity and developed and validated normal …

Purpose We investigated the reproducibility of the quantification of left ventricular volumes
and ejection fraction, and grading of myocardial wall motion and systolic thickening with …

Background Global and regional ventricular function may be evaluated by using gated
myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). This study …

Gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging allows the
simultaneous assessment of both perfusion and function by using one single study. The …

This study was performed to clarify the validity of quantification of myocardial wall thickening
by the count increase method using electrocardiography (ECG)-gated SPECT. Methods: We …

Changes in myocardial wall motion and thickening during myocardial perfusion SPECT are
typically assessed separately from gated studies for the presence of stress-induced …

Background Objective assessment of wall motion (M) and thickening (T) will aid in diagnosis
of coronary artery disease (CAD) from myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS). We aimed to …

Purpose Gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging of
myocardium by 99m Tc and 201 Tl is used extensively to measure quantitative cardiac …
