Gated Blood Pool And First Pass Imaging System
US Patent:

Filed:

Appl. No.:

Inventors:
Lon Wilson - Irwin PA, US

Thomas Power - Wexford PA, US
International Classification:
A61B006/00
US Classification:
600436000
Abstract:
A system for cardiac imaging is disclosed. A single camera system may be used to perform both gated blood pool and first pass imaging. The first pass camera tags the ECG/gated portion of the patient's exam to the first pass bolus as it travels through the right ventricle (RV), lung field and left ventricle (LV). In a typical test, a standard first pass test procedure is used except the patient is also connected to an ECG output device. The patient's R-wave is tracked and tagged to the first pass test data. The results may be displayed, for example, in a cine fashion, a static systolic/diastolic frame, a phase/amplitude frame, or any other desired format.
