Detection and correction of patient motion in dynamic 15O-water PET MPI
ConclusionFrame-by-frame motion correction after visual inspection is useful in reducing motion artifacts in cardiac15O-water PET. Reviewing the initial results (parametric images and polar maps) as part of the motion correction process, reduced erroneous corrections in motion-free scans. In a large clinical cohort, the impact of motion correction was limited to few patients. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy disease burden quantified using 99mTc-pyrophosphate SPECT/CT: volumetric parameters versus SUVmax ratio at 1 and 3 hours
ConclusionsThe disease burden of ATTR-CM was quantified more accurately by volumetric evaluation of99mTc-PYP SPECT/CT than SUVmax ratios and the performance was equivalent between 1 and 3 hours. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)

Use of PET/CT to detect myocardial inflammation and the risk of malignant arrhythmia in chronic Chagas disease
Conclusion18F-FDG and68Ga-DOTATOC uptake on PET/CT may be useful for the detection of myocardial inflammation in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy, and68Ga-DOTATOC uptake may be associated with the presence of malignant arrhythmia, with potential therapeutic implications.
