Left Ventricular Function: Correlation of Quantitative Gated SPECT and MR Imaging over a Wide Range of Values1

Carine D. L. Bavelaar-Croon, MD, Hein W. M. Kayser, MD, Ernst E. van der Wall, MD, PhD, Albert de Roos, MD, PhD, Petra Dibbets-Schneider, CNMTM, Ernest K. J. Pauwels, PhD, Guido Germano, PhD and Douwe E. Atsma, MD, PhD

1 From the Department of Radiology (H.W.M.K., A.d.R.), Divisions of Nuclear Medicine (C.D.L.B.C., P.D.S., E.K.J.P.) and Cardiology (E.E.v.d.W., D.E.A.), Leiden University Medical Centre, Albinusdreef 2, C4Q-80, 2333 ZA Leiden, the Netherlands; and the Division of Nuclear Medicine, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, Calif (G.G.). Received November 10, 1999; revision requested December 15; revision received February 7, 2000; accepted March 30. Address correspondence to C.D.L.B.C. (e-mail: C.Bavelaar-Croon@inter.nl.net).

In 21 patients, the authors compared results with quantitative gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to results with magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), end-systolic volume (LVESV), and ejection fraction (LVEF). Between the two methods, correlations were good for LVEF (r = 0.85), LVEDV (r = 0.94), and LVESV (r = 0.95). Quantitative gated SPECT can help determine LVEF, LVEDV, and LVESV.
