The assessment of left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony from gated 99mTc-tetrofosmin SPECT and gated 18F-FDG PET by QGS: a comparative study

ConclusionGated MPS and gated FDG PET can assess LVMD. The methods cannot be used interchangeably. Establishing reference ranges and cut-off values is difficult due to the lack of an external gold standard. Further prospective research is necessary.
