BACKGROUND: It is clinically needed to explore a more efficient imaging protocol for single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantitation derived from cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) SPECT camera for the routine clinical utilization.
METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients with matched clinical characteristics and angiographic findings who completed one-day rest/stress SPECT imaging with either the intermittently sequential imaging (ISI) protocol (two dynamic and two electrocardiography (ECG)-gated scans) or the continuous rapid imaging (CRI) protocol (two dynamic/ECG-gated scans) were included. MBF quantitation adopted residual activity correction (RAC) to correct for rest residual activity (RRA) in the stress dynamic SPECT scan for the detection of flow-limited coronary artery disease.
RESULTS: The CRI protocol reduced about 6.2 times shorter than the ISI protocol (25.5 min vs 157.6 min), but slightly higher than the RRA (26.7% ± 3.6% vs 22.3% ± 4.9%). With RAC, both protocols demonstrated close stress MBF (2.18 ± 1.13 vs 2.05 ± 1.10, P > 0.05) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) (2.42 ± 1.05 vs 2.48 ± 1.11, P > 0.05) to deliver comparable diagnostic performance (sensitivity = 82.1%-92.3%, specificity = 81.2%-91.2%). Myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function overall showed no significant difference (all P > 0.26).
CONCLUSION: One-day rest/stress SPECT with the CRI protocol and rest RAC is feasible to warrant the diagnostic performance of MBF quantitation with a shortened examination time and enhanced patient comfort. Further evaluation on the impact of extracardiac activity to regional MBF and perfusion pattern is required. Additional evaluation is needed in a patient population that is typical of those referred for SPECT MPI, including those with known or suspected coronary microvascular disease.
