We evaluated one of the merits of ECG-gated thallium-201 single photon emission computed tomography (g-T1 SPECT), i.e., the ability to appreciate left ventricular (LV) wall motion. LV wall motion assessed by g-T1 SPECT and by ECG-gated Blood Pool SPECT (g-BP SPECT) was classified into three grades and compared segment by segment. T1-201 uptake by g-T1 SPECT was also classified into three grades and compared with those of wall motion in g-BP SPECT. Fifty patients with prior myocardial infarction were injected intravenously at rest with 111 to 185 M Bq (3 to 5 mCi) of Tl-201. The left ventricular regions were divided into anterior, septal, inferior and lateral segments (50 patients X 4 segments = 200 segments in total). The grades of wall motion and Tl-201 uptake detected by g-Tl SPECT correlated well with those of wall motion in g-BP SPECT (94.5% and 85%, respectively). With g-Tl SPECT it was possible to evaluate left ventricular wall motion, providing clear perfusion images.
