Background: Gated myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been used to non-invasively evaluate the left ventricular (LV) volume and function. This study aimed to measure the normal and range values for heart risk view-function (HRV-F) software using the Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine Working Group (JSNM-WG) normal database and clarify the characteristics of the normal database. Methods:We used 206 myocardial perfusion short-axis images from the normal database. Ejection fraction (EF), end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV), peak filling rate (PFR), 1/3 mean filling rate (MFR), time to PFR (TTPF), and TTPF divided by RR interval (TPFR/RR) were calculated. Phase parameters of 95% histogram bandwidth and standard deviation were also computed using the phase analysis. The relationships among phase parameters, LV volumes, and body surface area (BSA) were evaluated in the age group of ≤65 years. Results: Higher EF was observed in females than in males (p |
