Dual source CT scanner Somatom Force visualization of coronary arteries
Nuclear Medicine Department was created in 1985.
Currently, radioisotope heart examinations account for over 94% of all scintigraphic scans performed.
The main clinical activity is based on stress myocardial perfusion scintigraphy performed with a gated technique (GSPECT), to evaluate blood supply on myocardial tissue level and myocardial contractility in the following indications:
- diagnosis of ischemic heart disease (diagnosis, location, assessment of the extent and severity of myocardial ischemia)
- assessment of the functional severity of intermediate lesions on coronary arteriography
- evaluation of the myocardial viability in patients with heart failure
- prognostic assessment and qualification for various forms of treatment
- assessment of the effectiveness of the applied therapies.
As a research tool, cardiac adrenergic nervous system scintigraphy with I-123-meta-iodo-benzyl-guanidine (MIBG) has been widely applied.
In addition to cardiac studies, gamma camera SYMBIA INTEVO EXCEL (SPECT-CT) offers a wide range of other nuclear medicine tests. All types of clinical acquisitions are performed: static and dynamic planar examinations, whole body scans, organ SPECT tests, SPECT-CT studies with attenuation correction and with improved lesion localization. Performed scintigraphic studies include:
- Dynamic kidney scintigraphy (Tc-99m-DTPA)
- Lung perfusion scintigraphy (Tc-99m-macroaggregated albumin)
- Whole body scintigraphy with targeted scintigraphy of inflammatory foci (Tc-99m-WBC)
- Whole body scintigraphy in suspicion of TTR type cardiac amyloidosis (Tc-99m-DPD)
Several research programs have been completed in the Department over the last few years: i.a.: 8 research grants in cooperation with the Polish Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, 10 international trials [i.a. Euroinject-One, STICH, OAT-NUC, MBG311, MBG313, EVINCI (EU FP7.), SMARTool (EU FP HORIZON 2020), ISCHEMIA] and 12 statutory works.
