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

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

Myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging (MPI) is a stress imaging modality, widely used in the
detection and evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD). This method is unique in …

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 …

In myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS), ischemia is typically quantified as the difference
between stress and rest defect sizes obtained by separate comparisons with stress and rest …

Objective Studies have suggested that ischemia-induced diastolic dysfunction persists
longer than systolic dysfunction. We examined whether global left ventricular (LV) diastolic …

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

Assessment of reversible perfusion defects in exercise 201Tl perfusion SPECT has low
sensitivity and high specificity for detection of multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) …

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