First comparison of performances between the new whole-body cadmium-zinc-telluride SPECT-CT camera and a dedicated cardiac CZT camera for myocardial perfusion imaging: Analysis of phantom and patients.
Article in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDedicated cardiac Cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) cameras show superior performances compared with Anger systems, particularly in terms of spatial resolution and count sensitivity. This study evaluated the performances of a new polyvalent whole body CZT camera (DNM 670CZT) compared with a cardiac dedicated CZT camera (DNM 530c) for myocardial perfusion SPECT.
methodsThe spatial resolution was evaluated with three linear sources filled with
resultsThe spatial resolution was identical with the two cameras. Count sensitivity of the DNM 670CZT was twofold lower compared with the DNM 530c, leading to lower sharpness index and contrast-to-noise ratio. The wall thickness and the myocardial volumes were similar. Visual and quantitative assessments of the perfusion patterns have shown a good concordance of the two cameras on phantoms and in patients.
conclusionThis study demonstrated the feasibility of myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging using the new whole-body DNM 670CZT camera.
