Pdf Summary
Summary:<br /><br />This document provides information on several case studies related to myocardial blood flow assessment using Rb-82 PET perfusion imaging. The first case study involves an 81-year-old female with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia referred for evaluation of chest pain. The study reveals normal perfusion scans and favorable prognostic markers.<br /><br />The second case study involves a 58-year-old female with a history of moderate aortic stenosis referred for chest pain evaluation. The results show normal perfusion but mis-registration of images initially, which is resolved upon reconstruction.<br /><br />Other case studies include a 60-year-old male with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea referred for dyspnea evaluation; a 74-year-old male with end-stage renal disease referred for ischemia evaluation; a 65-year-old male with RCA and LAD stenosis referred for ischemia evaluation; a 72-year-old female with hypertension and hyperlipidemia referred for chest pain evaluation; and a 74-year-old female with hypertension referred for pre-operative risk assessment. These cases show various findings including normal perfusion, technical issues, and the importance of accurate image registration.<br /><br />The document also provides key takeaways such as the characteristics of low-risk scans, the importance of accurate myocardial blood flow assessment, the potential for mis-registration artifacts, and the need for quality assurance in dynamic images.<br /><br />Overall, these case studies highlight the utility of Rb-82 PET perfusion imaging in evaluating myocardial blood flow and the factors to consider for accurate assessment and interpretation of the results.
