Description:
This study validated the 4D-MSPECT software for analyzing gated blood pool tomography (g-BPT) by comparing its measurements of left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fractions (LVEF) to those obtained via cardiac MRI, showing excellent correlation.
Clinical Relevance:
The validation confirms that 4D-MSPECT provides reliable measurements of LV function and volumes, making it a valuable tool for assessing patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and ensuring accurate clinical diagnoses.
Partners in Research:
INVIA Medical Imaging Solutions, The University of Colorado and the University of Michigan collaborated on this research.
