Abstract/OtherAbstract:
METHODS: Nine pigs had dynamic PET scans after repeated injections of flurpiridaz F 18 at rest and combined adenosine and dobutamine stress. flurpiridaz F 18 PET with a 3-compartment model and coinjected radioactive microspheres were used to delineate MBF. These quantitative measurements were compared with myocardial retention (%/min) and SUV of flurpiridaz F 18 after summing data over 5-10, 5-12, 5-15, 10-15, and 10-20 min after tracer injection.
RESULTS: MBF ranged from 0.5 to 2.8 mL/min/g. There was a good correlation between both flurpiridaz F 18 retention and SUVs from 5 to 12 min after injection and MBF measured using 3-compartment model- or microsphere-derived MBF (r = 0.73, P < 0.05, and r = 0.68, P < 0.05, respectively, for retention; r = 0.88, P < 0.001, and r = 0.92, P < 0.001, respectively, for SUV). At later time points, retention and SUV underestimated stress microsphere flow (at 10-20 min: r = 0.41, P = not significant, and r = 0.46, P = not significant, respectively, for retention; r = 0.41, P = not significant, and r = 0.65, P < 0.05, respectively, for SUV). When measured 5-12 min after injection, there was a close agreement between MFR measured with either flurpiridaz F 18 retention or SUV and MFR measured using microspheres (mean difference, -0.08 ± 0.36 and -0.18 ± 0.25, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Myocardial retention and SUVs of the (18)F-labeled flow tracer flurpiridaz F 18 accurately reflect the MFR. These simplified analysis methods may facilitate the combination of quantitative assessment of perfusion reserve and rapid clinical imaging protocols.
