Q

how to process the data of ERNA/MUGA?

A
  1. Draw ROI around left ventricle during end diastole( usually 1st or 2rd frame with highest count)
  2. draw ROI around left ventricle during end systole( usually frame with the lowest count)
  3. on the LAO image, draw ROI as bkg to the right of the left ventricle
  4. Spect acquisition is optional

Q

In-ViVo method

A

85% efficiency
1. Inject 1mg stannous Pyrophosphate and wait 10-20 to have RBC bonding to
2. Inject 25mCi Tc99m-04, wait 5-10 min, then imaging

Q

Ultra RBC tag

A

> 95% efficiency
1. withdraw 1 to 3 ml blood in a syringe with 1ml ACD or heparin
2. inject into reaction vial allow 5 mins for the blood to react, and add syringe I and syringe II
3. add 10-100mCi of Tc-99m-04 to the reaction vial (maximum volume of 3 ml) allow 20 mins for labeling, then inject 25 mCi of Tc-99m-04-Tagged RBCs into the patient and begin imaging

Q

what drugs effect to labeling blood?

A

cardiovascular, antibiotics, anti-inflammation agents, tranquilizers, chemotherapy agents, gastro intestinal

17
Q

what is able to visual the normal wall motion?

A

the normal wall motion which all the ventricular wall segment should contract simultaneous to the naked eyes

18
Q

what is able to see the akinesis?

A

akinesis will be seen in serve infarction, cardiomyopathy

19
Q

what is able to see the dyskinesis?

A

dyskinesis will be seen aneurysm (enlarge)

20
Q

what is able to see the hypokinesis?

A

hypokinesis will be seen myocardial injury, scarring, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy

21
Q

how the quantitative data generated?

A

the quantitative data generated when draw ROI around the left ventricle, the pc able to tract the change in the patient blood volume from ED to ES. then it will generate into EF (ejection fraction)

22
Q

what is phase analysis?

A

phase analysis is the sequence of cardiac contraction

23
Q

what is amplitude analysis?

A

the amplitude analysis is the degree of cardiac contraction

24
Q

what is normal phase?

A

the normal phase follows the standard sequence

25
Q

what is abnormal phase of ECG
?

A

having abnormal pattern

26
Q

what does stroke image?

A

stroke image is used for assess regional volume change, regional ventricle function and wall motion.

27
Q

what is ejection fraction image?

A

ejection fraction image allows the assessment of regional EF values

28
Q

what is paradox images?

A

paradox images is used to evaluate dyskinetic segments which reflect ventricular aneurysm

29
Q

what is phase images?

A

the phase image is used to assess regional wall motion abnormalities
