Nuclear medicine - Repeat study with improved cardiac gating
What is the name of the artifact due to gating error called?
Flickering artifact. This is seen in the raw cine data set.
1. On repeat study the QA parameters are so different. Gating errors are usually due to atrial fibrillation and PVC's. But sometimes the ECG leads and connections can be faulty.
2. EF now matches with the echo findings.
3. No ischemia, the slightly fixed decreased counts in the apex are likely from apical thinning.
