Figure 4 The RV end-diastolic volume index (RVEDVI) (A) and RV end-systolic volume index (RVESVI) (B) determined by perfusion and function analysis for gated SPECT software (pFAST) were closely correlated with those determined by electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), although pFAST analysis was impossible in three patients because their FDG accumulation in the RV free wall was too low. The correlation between the RV ejection fraction (RVEF) (C) determined by pFAST and that by EBCT or MRI was weaker. Other abbreviations as in Figures 1 and 2.
