Comparison of Myocardial Blood Flow Measurements With Dedicated Solid State SPECT Camera Imaging and 99mTc-Tetrofosmin Versus PET Imaging and Rubidium-82
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating single photon emission computed tomography for Coronary Heart Disease. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is being done to compare the blood flow measurements obtained with the SPECT and PET imaging scans. Measurements such as myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) are analyzed on PET scans. These measurements give the doctors more precise information in diagnosing heart problems. SPECT scans, with new camera technology and computer software, now have the potential to also give this additional information. The study is investigating how well the blood flow measurements from SPECT compared to PET.
