VG8 Hawkeye Cardiac
Cardiac
study with and without Hawkeye Cardiac Attenuation
Summary:
Patient presents with chest
pain. A resting Tc99m perfusion scan is scheduled to
evaluate for myocardial infarction. Following standard
myocardial perfusion imaging, in the inferior wall,
there is a mild severity defect. Left Ventricular
systolic function at rest, post stress, is borderline
normal; Ejection Fraction equaled 47%. Following Hawkeye
CT based attenuation correction, Myocardial Perfusion is
normal. Neither transient LV dilatation or increased
lung uptake are observed. The Myocardial Perfusion scan
is normal, Myocardial Infarction ruled out.
Clinical Information and Procedure:
Patient presents with chest pain. A resting
Tc99m perfusion scan is scheduled to evaluate for
myocardial infarction.
Findings:
In the inferior wall, there
is a mild severity defect. LV systolic function at rest,
post stress, is borderline normal; EF equaled
47%.
With Attenuation
Correction:
Myocardial perfusion is normal on
AC images. Neither transient LV dilatation or increased
lung uptake are
observed
Impression:
Normal
Myocardial perfusion study.
Quality Control Display:
Standard quality control display allows for the assessment of Emission to Transmission
registration. Three plane visual display provides qualitative sagittal, coronal
and transaxial alignment assurance.
Findings:
Exact registration of Emission and Transmission datasets.
