Abstract Objective
The interpolated projection data estimation processing (IPDE) method increases the amount of projection data by interpolation of the projection data. We examined the usefulness of the IPDE me...thod for ^2^0^1T1 myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with a short acquisition time.
Methods
Forty patients with suspected ischemic heart disease underwent stress ^2^0^1T1-MPI SPECT. Both stress and delayed images were acquired by 4 cycles of 360° continuous rotation with a 90-direction setting for 14 min. The projection data used for reconstruction were 1) all cycle data (T1-90-14min), 2) 2 cycles of data (T1-90-7min), and 3) 2 cycles of data processed using the IPDE method (T1-180IPDE-7min). This study compared the detection of the perfusion defect by the uptake score and the image quality of ^2^0^1T1-MPI SPECT using the normalized mean square error (NMSE).
Results
The uptake score of T1-180IPDE-7min was significantly more concordant with T1-90-14min in comparison to the T1-90-7min (p<0.05). The NMSE of the T1-180IPDE-7 min (1.85±1.06%) was significantly lower than that of the T1-90-7min IPDE improves SPECT MPI 4 (2.07±1.24%) (p<0.05). The degree of improvement by the IPDE method was significantly greater for the delayed ^2^0^1T1-MPI SPECT than for the stress ^2^0^1T1-MPI SPECT (p<0.05).
Conclusion
The IPDE method improved the image quality and secured the diagnostic ability of ^2^0^1T1-MPI SPECT for a short acquisition time. Furthermore, the IPDE method is a simple software program that does not require any expensive equipment or use advanced algorithms. These results suggest the possibility that the IPDE method can be useful as a supporting method for shortening the acquisition time of ^2^0^1T1-MPI SPECT.
