Rationale and design of the REgistry of Fast Myocardial Perfusion Imaging with NExt generation SPECT (REFINE SPECT).

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aim to establish a multicenter registry collecting clinical, imaging, and follow-up data for patients who undergo myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with the latest generation SPECT scanners.

Methods

REFINE SPECT (REgistry of Fast Myocardial Perfusion Imaging with NExt generation SPECT) uses a collaborative design with multicenter contribution of clinical data and images into a comprehensive clinical-imaging database. All images are processed by quantitative software. Over 290 individual imaging variables are automatically extracted from each image dataset and merged with clinical variables. In the prognostic cohort, patient follow-up is performed for major adverse cardiac events. In the diagnostic cohort (patients with correlating invasive angiography), angiog
