CARDIAC SCAN with Tc99m-SESTAMIBI –gated SPECT tomography
Parameters
LV EF ,LV End Diastolic Volume and End Systolic Volume (mls), 3D presentation of myocardial perfusion,quantitation of perfusion defect. 3D wall motion.
Myocardial perfusion analysis at rest v. normal controls.
Indications
I.H.D. with heart failure,when information about myocardial perfusion is essential.In cardiomyopathies-to prove or exclude ischemic etiology and measure LV ED & ES volumes (useful for follow up studies).
