Why the study?

Does automatic motion correction improve diagnostic outcomes in patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging using CZT-based SPECT cameras?

Structured PICO

Does automatic motion correction improve diagnostic outcomes in patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging using CZT-based SPECT cameras?

Population

83 consecutive patients who underwent stress-rest myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) CZT-SPECT and invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement

Intervention

Automatic correction of respiratory motion (RM) and patient motion (PM) using commercially available software

Comparator

Noncorrected scans

Outcome

Total perfusion deficit (TPD) and SPECT interpretation (normal, equivocal, or abnormal) compared with FFR as the reference standardsurrogate

Automatic motion correction for respiratory and patient motion provides limited added diagnostic value in myocardial perfusion imaging using CZT-based SPECT cameras.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Motion correction yields limited diagnostic impact in CZT-SPECT MPI; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
