Normal Ventilatory and Perfusion Pulmonary Function in TEMP

Completed
Conditions
Patents With Normal VQ/SPECT
Registration Number
NCT04332406
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Brest
Brief Summary

Ventilation - perfusion SPECT is attractive for lung function assessement. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to delineate normal to abnormal areas because of physiological uptake heterogeneity.

In that context, it would be of interest to build statistical maps from registrered normal studies and propose a new methodology for normal SPECT delineation

Detailed Description

Patients with normal VQ SPECT-CT will be analysed. After a image proccesing workflow including rigid registration, non rigid registration and normalization, a voxelized mean and standard deviation map will be created. Those maps will be analyzed in regards of physiology and litterature.

All
Target Recruitment
96
Inclusion Criteria
  • normal perfusion and ventilation scans, and no parenchyma or pleural abnormality on low dose CT
  • confirmation by a second senior physician
Exclusion Criteria

Patients with history of pulmonary disease:

  • chronic obstruction pulmonary disease,

Study & Design

Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Posterior to Anterior and Inferior to Superior uptake relative difference on parametric mean registered SPECT map versus non registered SPECTthrough study completion, an average of 3 months

parametric mean and standard deviation maps are build from elastic registration of normal lung V/Q SPECT-CT. A ROI based quantitative regional uptake comparison is performed to verify the influence of elastic registration on radiotracer distribution
