The precise assessment of myocardial infarction (MI) is crucial both for therapeutic interventions in old MI and the development of new and effective techniques to repair injured myocardium. A novel method was developed to assess left ventricular (LV) quantitatively infarction through three-dimensional (3D) multimodality fusion based on computed tomography angiography (CTA) and technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile ( 99m Tc-MIBI) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images. This study sought to develop a 3D quantitative method for MI for pre-clinical study and clinical application.
