Abstract
Myocardial blood low (MBF) in human can be noninvasively quantified using dynamic N-13 ammonia PET and two-compartment tracer kinetic model. In this study, factor analysis was used to extract the "pure" blood-pool time-activity curves (TACs) and to generate actor images. ive human N-13 ammonia PET dynamic studies were obtained. Three actors and their corresponding actor images were extracted rom each study. The accuracy of MBF estimated by the actor analysis (FA/FA MBF) was examined by comparing to the values estimated using the conventional ROI method (ROI/ROI MBF). MBF obtained by the actor analysis linearly correlated with MBF obtained by the ROI method (slope=0.98, r=0.91). Input unctions obtained by the two methods agreed well. In conclusion, MBF can be measured accurately and noninvasively with dynamic N-13 ammonia PET imaging and actor analysis. This method is simple and acurate and can measure MBF without blood sampling, ROI drawing nor spillover correction.
