Journal ArticleDOI
Onset of left ventricular mechanical contraction as determined by phase analysis of ECG-gated myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging: development of a diagnostic tool for assessment of cardiac mechanical dyssynchrony.
Ji Chen,Ernest V. Garcia,Russell D. Folks,C. David Cooke,Tracy L. Faber,E. Lindsey Tauxe,Ami E. Iskandrian +6 more
TL;DR: The OMC normal databases and dynamic OMC displays should help clinicians evaluate cardiac mechanic dyssynchrony and prospects are needed to validate whether this tool can be used to select patients with severe heart failure symptoms who might benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Quantification of Myocardial Blood Flow Using PET: Joint Position Paper of the SNMMI Cardiovascular Council and the ASNC.
Venkatesh L. Murthy,Timothy M. Bateman,Rob Beanlands,Daniel S. Berman,Salvador Borges-Neto,Panithaya Chareonthaitawee,Manuel D. Cerqueira,Robert A. deKemp,E. Gordon DePuey,Vasken Dilsizian,Sharmila Dorbala,Edward P. Ficaro,Ernest V. Garcia,Henry Gewirtz,Gary V. Heller,Howard C. Lewin,Shivali Malhotra,April Mann,Terrence D. Ruddy,Thomas H. Schindler,Ronald G. Schwartz,Piotr J. Slomka,Prem Soman,Marcelo F. Di Carli,Andrew J. Einstein,Raymond R. Russell,James R. Corbett +26 more
TL;DR: Writing Group: Venkatesh L. Murthy (cochair), Timothy M. Bateman, and Marcelo F. Di Carli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of myocardial wall thickness on SPECT quantification
TL;DR: The effects of changing myocardial wall thickness in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging are characterized, and a method which may be used to compensate for these effects is presented, along with a proposed method for correcting these effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac Dedicated Ultrafast SPECT Cameras: New Designs and Clinical Implications
TL;DR: Iconic designs for dedicated cardiac SPECT cameras that constrain the entire detector area to imaging just the heart and new software that recovers image resolution and limits image noise are implemented, resulting in shortened study times or reduced radiation doses to patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correspondence between left ventricular 17 myocardial segments and coronary arteries.
Osvaldo Pereztol-Valdés,Jaume Candell-Riera,César Santana-Boado,Juan Angel,Santiago Aguadé-Bruix,Joan Castell-Conesa,Ernest V. Garcia,Jordi Soler-Soler +7 more
TL;DR: The most specific segments (anterior, anteroseptal, and all apical segments except the infero-apical) correspond to LAD but no segment can be exclusively attributed to the RCA.
