Résumé

The purpose is to assess the added information provided by the fusion from the SPECT and the CT coronary angiography, in the identification of the coronary artery related ischemia (reversible defects) and the coronary artery-related infarction (fixed defects). Compared with the sole analyse of SPECT; addition of fused SPECT/CT images appears to enhance the ability to identify the ischemia related artery. This might be particularly useful for determining the optimal revascularisation procedure in patients with multivessel disease. (C) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
