Computerized quantitation of regional myocardial perfusion in man. 1980

J G Llaurado, and J D Horgan, and V S Bamrah, and P P Ruetz, and C M Kronenwetter, and R C Meade

A computerized procedure has been developed for the generation, graphic presentation and quantitative evaluation of circumferential profiles of thallium-201 myocardial perfusion. The computer data are first filtered using a two-dimensional fast Fourier transform. The optimum criteria for evaluating the profiles of the left anterior oblique (LAO) view have been empirically determined for both rest and stress. The sensitivity of 89 percent and specificity of 75 percent compare well with the results of other methods and are free of the variables of visual interpretation.

D010477 Perfusion Treatment process involving the injection of fluid into an organ or tissue. Perfusions
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph. Gamma Camera Imaging,Radioisotope Scanning,Scanning, Radioisotope,Scintigraphy,Scintiphotography,Imaging, Gamma Camera,Imaging, Radionuclide
D012146 Rest Freedom from activity. Rests
D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
