Evaluation of left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (LVEF) represent important components of pharmacologic stress imaging with either myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) or gated single-photon emission CT (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI).
We compared measurements of left ventricular function and volumes obtained with CTP and SPECT-MPI.
Forty-seven patients (mean age, 62 ± 11 years; male, n = 39) underwent stress CTP and SPECT-MPI. LVEF (in %), end-systolic volume (ESV; in mL), and end-diastolic volume (EDV; in mL) derived from stress CTP images were compared with SPECT-MPI.
Stress CTP was in good agreement with SPECT-MPI for quantification of LVEF (r = 0.91), EDV (r = 0.75), and ESV (r = 0.83; all P < 0.001). The mean LVEF measured by stress CTP (66% ± 17%) was similar to SPECT-MPI (64% ± 15%). Similar values were also derived for mean EDV (123 ± 30 mL vs 120 ± 34 mL) and ESV (44 ± 28 mL vs 51 ± 34 mL) for CTP and SPECT-MPI, respectively. Good agreement was also shown between both techniques for the assessment of regional wall motion with identical wall motion scores in 95.3% of the segments (κ = 0.79).
LVEF and LV volume parameters as determined by dual-source 64-slice adenosine stress CTP show a high correlation with values obtained with stress-gated SPECT-MPI.
左心室(LV)容积和射血分数(LVEF)的评估是使用心肌 CT 灌注(CTP)或门控单光子发射 CT(SPECT)心肌灌注成像(SPECT-MPI)进行药物负荷成像的重要组成部分。
我们比较了 CTP 和 SPECT-MPI 获得的左心室功能和容积测量值。
47 例患者(平均年龄 62 ± 11 岁;男性 n = 39)接受了应激 CTP 和 SPECT-MPI 检查。比较应激 CTP 图像得出的 LVEF(%)、收缩末期容积(ESV;mL)和舒张末期容积(EDV;mL)与 SPECT-MPI 的结果。
应激 CTP 与 SPECT-MPI 在心功能 LVEF(r = 0.91)、EDV(r = 0.75)和 ESV(r = 0.83;均 P < 0.001)的定量方面具有良好的一致性。应激 CTP 测量的平均 LVEF(66% ± 17%)与 SPECT-MPI 相似(64% ± 15%)。CTP 和 SPECT-MPI 的平均 EDV(123 ± 30 mL 与 120 ± 34 mL)和 ESV(44 ± 28 mL 与 51 ± 34 mL)也得出了相似的值。两种技术在评估节段性壁运动方面也具有良好的一致性,95.3%的节段壁运动评分相同(κ = 0.79)。
双源 64 层腺苷应激 CTP 测定的 LVEF 和 LV 容积参数与应激门控 SPECT-MPI 获得的值具有高度相关性。
