Necrosis avid tracer (123)I-hypericin ((123)I-HYP) enables hot-spot imaging on acute myocardial infarction (MI). We explored dual-isotope simultaneous acquisition single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (DISA-SPECT/CT) by using (123)I-HYP and standard (99m)Tc-sestamibi ((99m)Tc-MIBI), in comparison with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI), autoradiography (AutoRx) and histomorphometry.
Acute MI was induced by 90-min coronary artery occlusion and 24-h reperfusion in 9 rabbits. They were scanned with cMRI at 3.0T, followed by intravenous injections of (123)I-HYP, and 8h later, of (99m)Tc-MIBI. Then, they were imaged with DISA-SPECT/CT for detection and localization of MI. The excised heart was sectioned for AutoRx, triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) histochemistry, and haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. DISA-SPECT/CT and cMRI were co-registered, and MI was compared between different modalities and techniques for correlation with ex vivo findings. Tracer/contrast uptakes were quantified on polar maps. One way-ANOVA and Bonferroni's tests were used for comparison of multiple techniques. Linear regression and Bland-Altman analysis were used to compare measurements of MI.
MI volumes were not significantly different as by (99m)Tc-MIBI-SPECT, (123)I-HYP-SPECT, cMRI and TTC (38.94 ± 13.97%, 37.76 ± 13.16%, 35.19 ± 12.53% and 33.26 ± 10.65%; p > 0.05). The MI areas were 41.13 ± 18.70%, 40.19 ± 18.45%, 38.23 ± 16.86%, 36.83 ± 16.70%, 36.16 ± 16.15% and 35.03 ± 14.75% on (99m)Tc-MIBI-SPECT, (123)I-HYP-SPECT, cMRI, AutoRx, TTC and HE. There was no significant differences between each of two techniques (p = 0.9). Tracer/contrast uptakes were well correlated ((123)I-HYP vs (99m)Tc-MIBI r(2) = 0.66; (123)I-HYP vs cMRI r(2) = 0.63; (99m)Tc-MIBI vs cMRI r(2) = 0.64). Infarct/normal myocardium activity ratio was 40/1 and 23/1 by AutoRx and γ-counting.
(123)I-HYP has shown pronounced necrosis-avidity, which proves complementary for imaging MI with potential clinical applicability for myocardial viability determination.
坏死亲和性示踪剂(123)I-金丝桃素((123)I-HYP)可实现急性心肌梗死(MI)的热点成像。我们探索了使用(123)I-HYP和标准(99m)Tc-甲氧基异丁基异腈((99m)Tc-MIBI)的双同位素同时采集单光子发射计算机断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(DISA-SPECT/CT),并与心脏磁共振成像(cMRI)、放射自显影(AutoRx)和组织形态计量学进行比较。
对9只兔子进行90分钟冠状动脉闭塞和24小时再灌注诱导急性心肌梗死。在3.0T条件下用cMRI对它们进行扫描,随后静脉注射(123)I-HYP,8小时后注射(99m)Tc-MIBI。然后,用DISA-SPECT/CT对它们进行成像以检测和定位心肌梗死。将切除的心脏切片进行放射自显影、氯化三苯基四氮唑(TTC)组织化学和苏木精-伊红(HE)染色。对DISA-SPECT/CT和cMRI进行配准,并比较不同模式和技术之间的心肌梗死情况,以与离体结果进行相关性分析。在极坐标图上对示踪剂/造影剂摄取进行定量。采用单因素方差分析和Bonferroni检验比较多种技术。使用线性回归和Bland-Altman分析比较心肌梗死的测量值。
通过(99m)Tc-MIBI-SPECT、(123)I-HYP-SPECT、cMRI和TTC测得的心肌梗死体积无显著差异(分别为38.94±13.97%、37.76±13.16%、35.19±12.53%和33.26±10.65%;p>0.05)。在(99m)Tc-MIBI-SPECT、(123)I-HYP-SPECT、cMRI、放射自显影、TTC和HE上测得的心肌梗死面积分别为41.13±18.70%、40.19±18.45%、38.23±16.86%、36.83±16.70%、36.16±16.15%和35.03±14.75%。两种技术之间均无显著差异(p = 0.9)。示踪剂/造影剂摄取具有良好的相关性((123)I-HYP与(99m)Tc-MIBI的r(2)= 0.66;(123)I-HYP与cMRI的r(2)= 0.
