What is American Society of Nuclear Cardiology position statement on electrocardiographic gating of myocardial perfusion SPECT scintigrams about?
One of the most important recent developments in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging is the ability to acquire these studies in conjunction with electrocardiographic (ECG) gating. A recommendation for incorporating ECG gating as a routine during SPECT cardiac perfusion scintigraphy is appropriate for at least four reasons: there is extensive peer-reviewed literature attesting to its value; the practice is now widespread; practitioners in diverse settings (academia and private practice) regularly use it; and the hardware and software requirements are widely available. In addition, ASNC-sponsored continuing medical education programs for the past several years have emphasized the added information provided by ECG gating. The purpose of this position statement therefore is to formally encourage routine ECG gating along with SPECT myocardial perfusion studies, unless technical reasons preclude this. Although the principle is clear-cut, there will need to be more investigations and, ultimately, procedural guidelines to assist in optimizing acquisition and processing parameters in relation to different hardware and radiopharmaceuticals. This is
