Abstract
Abstract
Rationale
We aimed to define the impact of variable arterial input function on myocardial perfusion severity that may misguide interventional decisions and relates to limited capacity of 3D PET for high-count arterial input function of standard bolus R-82.
Methods
We used GE Discovery-ST 16 slice PET-CT, serial 2D and 3D acquisitions of variable Rb-82 dose in a dynamic circulating arterial function model, static resolution and uniformity phantoms, and in patients with dipyridamole stress to quantify per-pixel rest and stress cc·min−1·g−1, CFR and CFC with (+) and (−) 10% simulated change in arterial input.
Results
For intermediate, border zone severity of stress perfusion, CFR and CFC comprising 7% of 3987 cases, simulated arterial input variability of ± 10% may cause over or underestimation of perfusion severity altering interventional decisions. In phantom tests, current 3D PET has capacity for quantifying high activity of arterial input and high-count per-pixel values of perfusion metrics per artery or branches.
Conclusions
Accurate, reproducible arterial input function is essential for at least 7% of patients at thresholds of perfusion severity for optimally guiding interventions and providing high-activity regional per-pixel perfusion metrics by 3D PET for displaying complex quantitative perfusion readily understood (“owned”) by interventionalists to guide procedures.
