Quantification of ischemic and infarcted myocardium. Report no. 9 (final), 30 jun 75-31 dec 77
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5639655
An instrument for positron emission tomography has been developed in collaboration with G. Muehllehner of Searle Radiographics Inc. which consists of two modified gamma cameras mounted in a rotating gantry and connected in coincidence. The electronic and mechanical development was carried out by Searle, the testing, software development and initial trials were a collaborative effort. The principal accomplishments consisted of: Demonstration of the practicality of myocardial imaging with a variety of agents 81Rb+, 13 0Cs+, 13NH4+, N-13 asparagine; software was developed which permitted quantitative tomography both in transverse and longitudinal modes; validation studies were carried out in a porcine model demonstrating that 13NH4+ uptake appears to be a good marker for flow, and clinical pilot studies in recovering, ambulatory patients with myocardial infarction demonstrated vastly improved visualization of the myocardium.
