Abstract: Purpose: We estimated that in 75-90% of PET 82 Rb patients the left lung appeared to wrap around the anterior aspect of the left ventricle. We used clinical PET 82 Rb myocardial perfusion studies as the input to a SPECT computer simulation model to determine if patients with left lung wrap-around displayed consistent artifacts in reconstructed SPECT images. In particular, we sought an explanation for the "hot" lateral wall seen in SPECT images from normal female and male patients. Methods:... (Update)
