Cardiac cranial drift, a slow vertical upward displacement seen during the acquisition of myocardial single photon emission tomography (SPECT), is a source of image artefacts that may lead to erroneous interpretation. Changes in breathing pattern and depth throughout image acquisition are believed to cause cardiac cranial drift. As the physiology of respiration probably differs with postural changes, we hypothesized that cardiac drift may be different for supine vs. prone acquisitions. Our aim was to assess the magnitude of cardiac displacement for prone and supine SPECT acquisitions in patients undergoing stress myocardial perfusion imaging. |
