Abstract | The objective of this project was to study the impact of variable myocardial thickness on SPECT perfusion imaging using segmented high-resolution gated-CT data of the heart to define source distributions. High-resolution CT data were obtained using a GE Lightspeed multi-slice CT system. Transverse slices (512/spl times/512) with x-y pixel size of 0.039 cm and a slice thickness of 0.25 cm were segmented to obtain left-ventricular (LV) and right-ventricular (RV) myocardial walls for all time frames of the cardiac cycle. Polar maps of myocardial thickness were generated using radial and short-axis slices of the LV. Absolute quantitation was performed on the myocardium thickness polar maps. The segmented LV and RV were also incorporated in the gated MCAT phantom, and analytical SPECT projections generated using typical acquisition parameters. Projection data were folded down to 64/spl times/64 image matrices and reconstructed using FBP as well as 10 iterations of OSEM including attenuation correction. CEQUAL polar maps were generated and relative quantitative analysis performed. Results show there is considerable variation in wall thickness at the resolution of the CT studies. Apical thinning, papillary muscles, and apical to base shortening are clearly visible. AC also gives a mole realistic perfusion distribution in the simulated patient data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
