Shortened acquisition time in simultaneous 99mTc-tetrofosmin and 123I-β-methyl-p-iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid dual-tracer imaging with cadmium–zinc–telluride detectors in patients undergoing primary coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction

Conclusions The quantitative-gated SPECT and quantitative perfusion SPECT values obtained from images with shorter acquisition times correlated with the values obtained from images with a reference acquisition time of 65 s/view; however, tracer-specific predisposition should be considered. These findings suggest that it is possible to reduce acquisition time when performing simultaneous 99mTc-tetrofosmin/123I-β-methyl-p-iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid dual-tracer imaging with the novel cadmium–zinc–telluride scanner.
