Synopsis: Myocardial perfusion imaging is one the most common and highly sensitive functional imaging procedures performed in a nuclear medicine department. In present study we compared all-purpose CZT SPECT-CT camera to a dedicated cardiac CZT camera. The study was performed using phantoms. Contrast-to-noise ratio, uniformity and spatial resolution and psychophysical assessments were done. Due to differences of the systems, some parameters could not be harmonized.

This agenda item is presented in the following session: S2-4 Nuclear Medicine
