    Abstract:
    With technetium-99m 2-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI), regional wall thickening in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy was analyzed by the first component Fourier method. The regional wall thickening was compared with thallium-201 and 99mTc-MIBI SPECT imaging. Thallium-201 SPECT images showed mildly reduced perfusion in the posterior wall and redistribution in the septum, whereas 99mTc-MIBI images showed heterogeneous accumulation around the left ventricular circumference. By means of phase analysis, diffusely decreased wall thickening and discontinuity of percent wall thickening in neighboring segments were observed throughout the left ventricle. Regional wall motion and wall thickening correlated roughly. However, discrepancies between the mechanical function and myocardial perfusion, and discrepancies in regional myocardial perfusion between thallium-201 and 99mTc-MIBI were observed.
