Background. Single-photon emission computed tomography has shown relevant limitations in the quantification of left ventricular (LV) mass.

Twenty-five patients underwent MPI on a CZT camera and CMR on a 1.5 T scanner within 12 ± 3 weeks. LV mass was quantified on CZT images using two softwares: 4D-MSPECT (4DM) and Emory Cardiac Toolbox (ECTb). LV mass by CMR was quantified using MASS software (Medis, Leiden, The Netherlands). LV mass values obtained with 4DM and ECTb were highly reproducible [intraclass correlation coefficients .98 (95% CI .97-.99), and .98 (95% CI 0.97-.99), respectively]. The mean LVM mass values were 151 ± 44 g on CMR, 151 ± 43 g with 4DM(P 5 NS vs CMR), and 157 ± 42 g with ECTb (P < .001 vs CMR; P 5 .007 vs 4DM) CZT images. There was an excellent correlation between LV mass values between CMR and both 4DM (R2 5 .95; P < .001) and ECTb (R2 5 .98; P < .001) with narrow limits of agreement (2 13.6% to 1 13.4% for 4DM, and 2 5.6% to 1 14.1% for ECTb). Conclusions. The evaluation of LV mass is feasible on CZT images, showing excellent agreement with CMR. (J Nucl Cardiol 2017)

Abstract

Background. Single-photon emission computed tomography has shown relevant limitations in the quantification of left ventricular (LV) mass. We sought to compare the estimates of LV mass on Cadmium-Zinc-Telluride (CZT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) as compared to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods and results. Twenty-five patients underwent MPI on a CZT camera and CMR on a 1.5 T scanner within 12 ± 3 weeks. LV mass was quantified on CZT images using two softwares: 4D-MSPECT (4DM) and Emory Cardiac Toolbox (ECTb). LV mass by CMR was quantified using MASS software (Medis, Leiden, The Netherlands). LV mass values obtained with 4DM and ECTb were highly reproducible [intraclass correlation coefficients .98 (95% CI .97-.99), and .98 (95% CI 0.97-.99), respectively]. The mean LVM mass values were 151 ± 44 g on CMR, 151 ± 43 g with 4DM(P 5 NS vs CMR), and 157 ± 42 g with ECTb (P < .001 vs CMR; P 5 .007 vs 4DM) CZT images. There was an excellent correlation between LV mass values between CMR and both 4DM (R2 5 .95; P < .001) and ECTb (R2 5 .98; P < .001) with narrow limits of agreement (2 13.6% to 1 13.4% for 4DM, and 2 5.6% to 1 14.1% for ECTb). Conclusions. The evaluation of LV mass is feasible on CZT images, showing excellent agreement with CMR. (J Nucl Cardiol 2017)
