Comparison of 2D-QCA, 3D-QCA and coronary angiography derived FFR in predicting myocardial ischemia assessed by CZT-SPECT MPI
ConclusionAngio-FFR had a high accuracy in predicting myocardial ischemia assessed by CZT-SPECT, which is similar as 3D-QCA but significantly higher than 2D-QCA. While in intermediate lesions, angio-FFR is better than 3D-QCA and 2D-QCA in assessing myocardial ischemia. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)

Lung-to-heart ratio analysis using virtual planar images obtained from myocardial perfusion SPECT data: A phantom and clinical studies
ConclusionThe accuracy of VPI-based L/H ratio analysis was comparable to that of conventional planar image-based analysis. VPIs could be used as an alternative method of obtaining planar images in clinical settings. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)
