Insidermedicine In Depth – November 16, 2010 – Magnetic Perfusion Imaging

ndividuals who undergo a diagnostic cardiac imaging test known as myocardial perfusion imaging, or MPI, usually have this test several times and also undergo other tests that expose them to radiation, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Here is some information about MPI: • It is a non-invasive nuclear medicine imaging test used to measure blood flow to the heart • It involves injecting patients with a radioactive substance, called a tracer, that is taken up by the portion of the heart muscle receiving good blood flow • It can be performed at rest or while exercising Researchers from Columbia University Medical Center examined the medical records of over 1000 patients who underwent MPI at their center in early 2006. The investigators counted how many procedures these patients underwent between 1988 and 2008 that involved exposure to radiation, estimating how much radiation they were exposed to overall. On average, the patients underwent about 15 procedures that exposed them to radiation, including four procedures in which the dose of radiation was quite high. Nearly one-third of the patients were exposed to an overall radiation dose over 100 mSv. More than a third of the patients underwent multiple MPIs, and in these patients the cumulative dose of radiation they were exposed to was 121 mSv. Radiation doses were higher for men and white patients, and those with known cardiac disease or symptoms of the condition were more …
