This information statement from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, and European Association of Nuclear Medicine describes the performance, interpretation, and reporting of hot spot imaging in nuclear cardiology. The field of nuclear cardiology has historically focused on cold spot imaging for the interpretation of myocardial ischemia and infarction. Hot spot imaging has been an important part of nuclear medicine, particularly for oncology or infection indications, and the use of hot spot imaging in nuclear cardiology continues to expand. This document focuses on image acquisition and processing, methods of quantification, indications, protocols, and reporting of hot spot imaging. Indications discussed include myocardial viability, myocardial inflammation, device or valve infection, large vessel vasculitis, valve calcification and vulnerable plaques, and cardiac amyloidosis. This document contextualizes the foundations of image quantification and highlights reporting in each indication for the cardiac nuclear imager.
本信息声明来自核医学与分子影像学学会、美国核心脏学会和欧洲核医学协会，描述了核心脏病学中热点成像的性能、解释和报告。核心脏病学领域历史上一直专注于冷点成像以解释心肌缺血和梗死。热点成像一直是核医学的一个重要部分，特别是对于肿瘤学或感染适应症，并且热点成像在核心脏病学中的应用仍在不断扩大。本文档重点介绍热点成像的图像采集和处理、定量方法、适应症、方案和报告。讨论的适应症包括心肌存活、心肌炎症、器械或瓣膜感染、大血管血管炎、瓣膜钙化和易损斑块以及心脏淀粉样变性。本文档阐述了图像定量的基础，并强调了心脏核医学成像师在每个适应症中的报告。
