Quantitative gated SPECT correlated well with magnetic resonance imaging for assessing left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.85), end-diastolic volume (r=0.94), and end-systolic volume (r=0.95).
Observational (n=21)
Does quantitative gated SPECT correlate with magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction?
Quantitative gated SPECT shows strong correlation with MRI for assessing left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction.
Effect estimate: r = 0.85 (LVEF), 0.94 (LVEDV), 0.95 (LVESV)
In 21 patients, the authors compared results with quantitative gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to results with magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), end-systolic volume (LVESV), and ejection fraction (LVEF). Between the two methods, correlations were good for LVEF (r = 0.85), LVEDV (r = 0.94), and LVESV (r = 0.95). Quantitative gated SPECT can help determine LVEF, LVEDV, and LVESV.
Bavelaar-Croon et al. (Wed,) reported a observational. Quantitative gated SPECT vs. Magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated on Correlation of LVEF, LVEDV, and LVESV (r = 0.85 (LVEF), 0.94 (LVEDV), 0.95 (LVESV)). Quantitative gated SPECT correlated well with magnetic resonance imaging for assessing left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.85), end-diastolic volume (r=0.94), and end-systolic volume (r=0.95).
