AIMS: 123I-labeled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) has used a planar image to measure the heart-to-mediastinum ratio (HMR). However, planar images are not available from IQ-SPECT with SMARTZOOM collimator due to its multi-focal collimation. Since we created the planar-equivalent (IQ-planar) images by adding all slices of the IQ-SPECT coronal image. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the utility of the new method for calculating HMR.
METHODS: The planar image and transverse images of IQ-SPECT with attenuation and scatter corrections (ACSC) and without ACSC (NC) were obtained. Multi-planar reconstruction and ray-summation processing were applied to create IQ-planar images with NC and ACSC. Linear regression between the measured HMR from the planar image and the mathematically calculated HMR was used to calibrate HMR to standardized values.
RESULTS: Scatterplots and linear regression lines between planar and IQ-planar HMRs before and after cross-calibration showed systematic differences in both NC and ACSC conditions. The IQ-planar HMR with NC and ACSC was significantly higher compared with that of the conventional planar image. However, the IQ-planar HMR with NC and ACSC after cross-calibration was similar to the standardized HMR calculated by planar image.
CONCLUSION: The IQ-planar HMR using the new ray-summation processing method could be used along with the conventional planar HMR.
