Heart phantom and clinical study of 99mTc-MIBI SPECT with 180°(LAO to RAO)data acquisition was camed out and compared with the full 360°rotation.Data analyses included myocardial volume and area
defect Volume and area.In simple heart phantom study
360°acquisition was more aseroximate to phantom determined true value (P>0.05).However
when a hesrt phantom was wraped in a chest phantom
180°data acquisition was more accordant with thee value (P>0.05).In 34 cases with coronary heart disease
all of the quantitative parameters mentioned above were very accordant between 360
/6°and 180°/6
180°/6°and 180°/3°The defect-to-normal wall-count ratio(D/N) was lower in the 180°scan (0.235±0.043)than in the 360°scan(0.249 ±0.057) (P<0.05)
indicating the lesion site can be better detected by the former method.All of the results suggested that for myocardial SPECT the 180°acquisition method can save acquisition time and is more practical in the clinical appliance than 360°acquisition.
