The motivation to reproject gated blood pool SPECT data as planar data

Authors: Kenneth J. Nichols, PhD, Denny D. Watson, PhD

Published in: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology | Issue 3/2013

Excerpt

In the current issue of the Journal, Wells et al, describe the results of deriving left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) values from planar radionuclide ventriculography (RNV) images that are not conventionally obtained via best septal view planar imaging, but rather by reprojecting gated blood pool SPECT data as planar RNV images.1 This is a topic of relevance for laboratories having SPECT-only cameras which are requested to perform gated blood pool scans. …
