Abstract

Patient motion can lead to misalignment of left ventricular volumes of interest and subsequently inaccurate quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and flow reserve (MFR) from dynamic PET myocardial perfusion images. We aimed to identify the prevalence of patient motion in both blood and tissue phases and analyze the effects of this motion on MBF and MFR estimates. We selected 225 consecutive patients that underwent dynamic stress/rest rubidium-82 chloride (82Rb) PET imaging. Dynamic image series were iteratively reconstructed with 5- to 10-second frame durations over the first 2 minutes for the blood phase and 10 to 80 seconds for the tissue phase. Motion shifts were assessed by 3 physician readers from the dynamic series and analyzed for frequency, magnitude, time, and direction of motion. The effects of this motion isolated in time, direction, and magnitude on global and regional MBF and MFR estimates were evaluated. Flow estimates derived from the motion corrected images were used as the error references. Mild to moderate motion (5-15 mm) was most prominent in the blood phase in 63% and 44% of the stress and rest studies, respectively. This motion was observed with frequencies of 75% in the septal and inferior directions for stress and 44% in the septal direction for rest. Images with blood phase isolated motion had mean global MBF and MFR errors of 2%-5%. Isolating blood phase motion in the inferior direction resulted in mean MBF and MFR errors of 29%-44% in the RCA territory. Flow errors due to tissue phase isolated motion were within 1%. Patient motion was most prevalent in the blood phase and MBF and MFR errors increased most substantially with motion in the inferior direction. Motion correction focused on these motions is needed to reduce MBF and MFR errors.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 December 2022.
All research outputs
#4,230,658
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Nuclear Cardiology
#201
of 2,044 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,614
of 346,639 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Nuclear Cardiology
#1
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,044 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 346,639 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 97% of its contemporaries.
