Zusammenfassung

Die EKG-getriggerte SPECT (gSPECT) stellt heute den aktuellen Stand der Technik in der Myokardperfusionsszintigrafie dar. Sie erlaubt ohne signifikanten Mehraufwand die zusätzliche Berechnung kardialer Funktionsparameter, beispielsweise der linksventrikulären Ejektionsfraktion, der linksventrikulären Volumina sowie der regionalen Wandbewegung und systolischen Wandverdickung. Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über die Technik sowie die diagnostische und prognostische Relevanz des Verfahrens.

Abstract

Today, ECG-triggered SPECT (gSPECT) is the state of the art of myocardial perfusion imaging. It provides additional quantitative functional parameters such as left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular volumes, regional wall motion and wall thickening without significant additional effort. This review provides an overview over the gSPECT technique and the incremental diagnostic and prognostic value of gSPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.
