Major Activities

Activity 2

Stress only spect with attenuation correction:this study was designed to assess the cardiac specific outcomes of patients whose nuclear stress test was performed as a "stress-only" imaging test. Stress only imaging holds the promise of reducing patient time, health care system expense and radiation exposure to the patients, staff and public. The study was a retrospective study of 2,083 patients imaged between april 2007 and august 2008. Data analysis was completed in 2011 for submission to the american society of nuclear cardiology meeting. It was accepted for that meeting as a poster, and at the end of 2011, a manuscript was under preparation for submission to the journal of nuclear medicine.

Activity 3

Low dose stress-only spect myocardial perfusion imaging:this study was a prospective study design to test the safety and efficacy of very low dosage imaging protocol using a novel camera design (the d-spect system). A total of 250 subjects were to be recruited using the d-spect system and another 250 subjects were to be recruited for the standard imaging system and protocol. The subjects were then followed up to investigate if they had experienced any cardiac events.the last follow-up call was completed in october 2011, with the target enrollment of 250 subject in each arm being achieved. The results of this study were accepted for presentation at the 2012 american college of cardiology as a poster.
