We compared quantification of MBF and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) with a 99mTc-sestamibi CZT-SPECT to O-water PET.
SPECT MBF for thirty patients in the WATERDAY study was re-analyzed by QPET software with motion correction and optimal placement of the arterial input function. O-water PET MBF was re-quantified using dedicated software. Inter-operator variability was assessed using repeatability coefficients (RPC).
Significant correlations were observed between global (r = 0.91, P < 0.001) and regional MBF (r = 0.86, P < 0.001) with SPECT compared to PET. Global MBF (rest 0.95 vs 1.05 ml/min/g, P = 0.07; stress 2.62 vs 2.68 mL/min/g, P = 0.17) and MFR (2.65 vs 2.75, P = 0.86) were similar between SPECT and PET. Rest (0.81 vs 0.98 mL/min/g, P = 0.03) and stress MBF (1.98 vs 2.61 mL/min/g, P = 0.01) in right coronary artery (RCA) were lower with SPECT compared to PET. However, MFR in the RCA territory was similar (2.54 vs 2.77, P = 0.21). The SPECT-PET RPC for global MBFs and MFR were 0.95 mL/min/g and 0.94, with inter-observer RPC of 0.59 mL/min/g and 0.74, respectively.
MBF and MFR derived from CZT-SPECT with motion correction and optimal placement of the arterial input function showed good agreement with O-water PET, as well as low inter-operator variability.
我们将 99mTc-sestamibi CZT-SPECT 测量的 MBF 和心肌血流储备(MFR)与 O-水 PET 进行了比较。
对 WATERDAY 研究中的 30 例患者的 SPECT MBF 进行了重新分析,采用 QPET 软件进行运动校正和最佳动脉输入函数放置。使用专用软件重新定量 O-水 PET MBF。采用重复性系数(RPC)评估操作者间变异性。
与 PET 相比,SPECT 显示整体(r=0.91,P<0.001)和区域 MBF(r=0.86,P<0.001)均具有显著相关性。静息时(0.95 比 1.05 ml/min/g,P=0.07;应激时 2.62 比 2.68 mL/min/g,P=0.17)和 MFR(2.65 比 2.75,P=0.86),SPECT 与 PET 相似。与 PET 相比,SPECT 显示右冠状动脉(RCA)的静息时(0.81 比 0.98 ml/min/g,P=0.03)和应激时 MBF(1.98 比 2.61 mL/min/g,P=0.01)较低。然而,RCA 区域的 MFR 相似(2.54 比 2.77,P=0.21)。整体 MBF 和 MFR 的 SPECT-PET RPC 分别为 0.95 ml/min/g 和 0.94,观察者间 RPC 分别为 0.59 ml/min/g 和 0.74。
运动校正和最佳动脉输入函数放置的 CZT-SPECT 衍生的 MBF 和 MFR 与 O-水 PET 具有良好的一致性,且操作者间变异性低。
