A novel approach to multipinhole SPECT for myocardial perfusion imaging
2006
Journal of Nuclear Medicine
Myocardial perfusion imaging with SPECT remains critically important for diagnosing, assessing, and evaluating treatment of coronary artery disease. However, conventional rotational SPECT suffers from prolonged study times because of relatively low detection efficiency. We therefore have investigated a multipinhole collimator that could improve the detection efficiency in cardiac SPECT by a factor 5, while providing image quality comparable to standard rotational SPECT techniques using parallel-hole collimation.
