Cracking the Code: Perfusion Defects in SPECT MPI Explained

About this Video Lesson

In this case-based tutorial, Dr. Ziad Risheq walks you through a real-world example of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using SPECT. This is Case 3 in the educational series and focuses on identifying perfusion defects and interpreting post-stress and rest-phase images side by side.

You'll learn how to:

  • Evaluate typical imaging findings
  • Differentiate between true perfusion deficits and potential artifacts
  • Understand the relevance of clinical context in final reporting
     

This hands-on case review is perfect for anyone aiming to build confidence in reading MPI scans and linking imaging findings to coronary artery territories. A great learning aid for residents, nuclear medicine trainees, and anyone brushing up on cardiac imaging skills!

Learning Objectives

After watching this video, learners will be able to:

  • Analyze stress and rest-phase SPECT MPI images for signs of perfusion abnormalities.
  • Recognize common patterns of reversible and fixed perfusion defects.
  • Apply anatomical knowledge to map perfusion defects to specific coronary arteries.
  • Consider technical pitfalls and clinical correlations when interpreting MPI findings.
