SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with Dextrocardia
Abstract
Myocardial perfusion imaging has gained widespread acceptance for evaluation of ischemia in daily practice. Dextrocardia or other cardiac anomalies may be encountered during imaging, but because of altered position and orientation of the heart, some difficulties and artifacts during acquisition and processing may arise. In the present illustrated review, the intent is to present methods to improve the technique of acquisition and processing and prevent the emergence of artefactual defects in the myocardial perfusion SPECT in patients with Dextrocardia.
