Description

A myocardial tomography (T1-201) has been performed in 97 patients after exercise and 3 hours later. Tomographic slices were reconstructed using a standard software. Bull's eye images of short axis slices were compared, in blind manner, by 5 physicians, to the standard display. For the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, both displays had the same clinical value. For the appreciation of the extension of the disease, results obtained from bull's eye display were slightly better than those obtained from the conventional display

Abstract (French)

Chez 97 malades, une tomographie myocardique au thallium-201 a ete effectuee apres exercice puis repetee 3 heures plus tard. Des coupes tomographiques ont ete reconstruites avec un logiciel standard. A partir des coupes petit axe, des images bull's eye ont ete obtenues. Cinq medecins ont analyse independamment les images des 3 plans de coupe habituels et les images bull's eye. La sensibilite et la specificite pour le diagnostic de la maladie coronaire sont voisines pour les 2 modes de visualisation. Pour l'appreciation de l'extension de la maladie coronaire, les resultats obtenus a partir des images bull's eye sont legerement meilleurs que ceux obtenus a partir de la visualisation habituelle
