A non-uniform attenuation correction is necessary for the myocardial perfusion image (MPI) SPECT that is one of the images of the trunk. Simultaneous non-uniform attenuation correction during the process of SPECT reconstruction was enabled by developing hybrid SPECT/CT. Image acquisition of 99mTc MPI with hybrid SPECT/CT was performed in a phantom study and clinical cases. We evaluated the effect of non-uniform attenuation correction by Filtered Back Projection (FBP) or Ordered Subsets-Expectation Maximization (OS-EM) using visual analysis and quantitative analysis with a 17-segment model. The phantom study and the clinical cases differed somewhat as follows. In the phantom study, the count increased significantly with non-uniform attenuation correction in visual analysis and quantitative analysis. In the clinical cases, non-uniform attenuation correction increased the quantitative count in the basal and middle layer of the heart, and visual uniformity of the whole heart improved. However, the visual and quantitative count in the apex decreased with non-uniform attenuation correction. As a result, diagnostic performance for coronary heart disease is expected to be improved by this new technique using hybrid SPECT/CT.
