Fig. 2 — Demonstration of the 3-slice binary mask (blue color) superimposed on the whole-heart LV polar map used in the QPS software for retrospective analysis of SPECT MPI data. Two consecutive rings from the whole-heart polar map in the QPS software were combined (thickness ≈ 10 mm) at the center of apical, mid ventricular, and basal positions (defined by the AHA 17-segment LV model), respectively. To simulate 3-slice imaging using the SPECT MPI datasets, this binary mask was applied to the whole-heart data (polar map) in order to select only 3 short-axis slices as conventionally acquired in magnetic resonance MPI (apical, mid ventricular, and basal slices). LV left ventricular, MPI myocardial perfusion imaging. (Color figure online)
