Usefulness of 67Ga SPECT and integrated low-dose CT scanning (SPECT/CT) in the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis

We performed 67Gallium (Ga) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with integrated low-dose computed tomography (CT) for the interpretation of myocardial outline to investigate the value of co-registered fusion imaging using a hybrid system (SPECT/CT) in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis. SPECT/CT of the region in question was performed with VG Hawkeye. The subjects in this study were 37 patients [mean (±SD) age 61.0 ± 13.0 years; 12...
