Chapter 14 / Artifacts and Technical Problems in Cardiac Imaging 185Fig. 14-54. Reconstructed SPECT slices of the raw projection data shown inFig. 14-53. The display of reconstructed slices in this and other images adheresto ACC/AHA/ASNC/SNM standards for display of tomographic images. Theshort-axis (SA) slices are displayed on top, the vertical long-axis (VLA) slicesin the middle and the horizontal long-axis (HLA) slices on the bottom. The rowsmarked with “A” show the stress images and rows marked with “B” show restimages. The SA slices are displayed from apex (#26 and # 25) to base (#39 and# 38); the VLA slices are displayed from septum (#12) to lateral wall (#18); theHLA are displayed from inferior wall (#5 and #6) to anterior wall (#11 and #12).This is an example of normal SPECT images.
