Underrecognized Utility of I-BMIPP in CAD Diagnosis Outside of Japan.

Ann Nucl Cardiol

October 2024

Department of Radiology, Sakakibara Heart Institute, Tokyo, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • * Reduced uptake of I-BMIPP can indicate issues related to heart conditions, especially in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
  • * While I-BMIPP is widely used in Japan due to its practical benefits, such as no need for stress tests, its use is limited elsewhere due to regulatory hurdles and supply issues, highlighting the need for broader adoption internationally.

infection is an infectious disease that must be controlled because it becomes chronic and difficult to treat, owing to its unique system of toxin production/injection and elimination of other bacteria. Here, we noninvasively monitored using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. Determining the amount and localization of the will enable making faster clinical diagnoses and selecting the most appropriate therapeutic agents and methods.

Article Synopsis
  • * A comparison of WR values for various groups (including individuals with and without cardiovascular disease) showed no significant differences between the two algorithms, except in one group where TCWR produced higher values than AMWR.
  • * The findings suggest that TCWR is a more reliable method for calculating WR in cases of heterogeneous radiotracer uptake, making it useful for studying heart disease with different radiopharmaceuticals.

Practice Recommendation for Measuring Washout Rates in I-BMIPP Fatty Acid Images.

Ann Nucl Cardiol

October 2023

Department of Radioisotope Medicine, Atomic Bomb Disease and Hibakusha Medicine Unit, Atomic Bomb Disease Institute, Nagasaki University, Japan.

The purpose of this practice recommendation is to specifically identify the critical steps involved in performing and interpreting I-β-methyl-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and measurement of washout rate (WR) from the heart. This document will cover backgrounds, patient preparation, testing procedure, visual image interpretation, quantitation methods using planar and SPECT studies, and reporting of WR. The pitfall and some tips for the calculation of I-BMIPP WR are also included.
