مستخلص: Objectives: To simulate cardiac malpositions, leftward and rightward shift and dextrocardia, and also to compare distribution of activity of septal and lateral walls of left ventricle acquired in standard acquisition arc and after relevant adjustment.
Methods: In this study, digital phantoms with cardiac malpositions are designed and procedure of acquisition of scan in standard arc (from right anterior oblique to left posterior oblique) and adjusted acquisition arc is simulated. The three situations of malposition including leftward and rightward shift and dextrocardia are considered. For all types, acquisition is conducted in standard and then adjusted arcs (from anterior to posterior and also from right to left for leftward and rightward shifts, respectively, and for dextrocardia, from left anterior oblique to right posterior oblique). All obtained projections are reconstructed using the algorithm of filtered back projection. During forward projection to obtain sinograms, radiation attenuation is also modeled by incorporation of a simplified transmission map to emission map. The resulting tomographic slices of the LV (septum, apex, and lateral wall) are presented visually and are compared by plotting intensity profiles of the walls. Finally, normalized error images are also computed. All the computations are performed in MATLAB software package.
Results: In transverse slice, septum and lateral wall are attenuated progressively from apex, which is closer to the camera, to the base in similar fashion. In tomographic slices of standard acquisition arc, the septum shows remarkably higher activity compared to lateral wall. However, after adjustment, both seems equally intense and progressively being attenuated from apex to base, similar to that found in phantom with normally positioned heart. Likewise, for the phantom with rightward shift, when the scanning was done in standard arc, the septum is more intense than the lateral wall. And similarly, adjustment of the arc renders both walls equally intense. In dextrocardia, level of attenuation of basal parts of septum and lateral wall is higher in 360° arc compared to adjusted 180° arc.
Conclusion: Adjustment of acquisition arc exerts perceptible changes in distribution of activity over LV walls which are more compatible with normally positioned heart.
