Quantitative analysis has been applied extensively to image processing and interpretation in nuclear cardiology to improve disease diagnosis and risk stratification. This is Part 2 of a two-part continuing medical education article, which will review the potential clinical role for emerging quantitative analysis tools. The article will describe advanced methods for quantifying dyssynchrony, ventricular function and perfusion, and hybrid imaging analysis.

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has attained widespread clinical acceptance as a standard of care for patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). A significant contribution to this success has been the use of computer techniques to provide objective quantitative assessment in the standardization of the interpretation of these studies. Software platforms have been developed as a pipeline to provide the quantitative algorithms researched, developed and validated to be clinically useful so diagnosticians everywhere can benefit from these tools.

After reading Part IV of this series of nuclear cardiology articles, the reader should be able to describe: (a) the differences between SPECT and PET techniques; (b) the various radiopharmaceuticals and imaging protocols used for detecting viability with SPECT; (c) the different radiopharmaceuticals and imaging protocols used for detecting viability with PET; and (d) the imaging patterns observed after reconstructing myocardial images.
