Abstract
The purpose of the research project is to increase the quality and reproducubility of the myocardial perfusion scintigraphy for the diagnosis of iscaemic heart disease. For this purpose we have standarised acquisition protocols of the procedure. Quality control of the nuclear medicine equipment, software as well as hardware was carried out in the framework of interlaboratory colaboration coordinated by European Community''s COST B2 project and COST B3 project for quality control of the radiopharmaceuticals.
The aim of the study is to determine whether it is possible to increase the accuracy of interpretation of results of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy by applying methods of artificial intelligence, which can simultaneously evaluate all available clinical data (history, stress test, ECG, and scintigraphy). We intend to test this hypothesis on results of scintigraphy of patients with angiographically confirmed or excluded coronary artery disease.
