Nuclear Medicine is a multidisciplinary technology used for diagnostic purpose. Cardiac nuclear medicine imaging is used to determine coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathy. It also may be used to determine whether the heart has been damaged by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Nuclear medicine uses trace amounts of radioactive materials called radio-tracers or radio-pharmaceuticals that are inhaled, swallowed or injected into the bloodstream. These radio-tracer travels through the area being examined and gives off energy in the form of gamma rays which are detected by gamma camera [1] and a computer to create images of the inside the body based on Artificial Neural Network [2]. ANN (an Artificial Intelligence technology) serves as a tool for detecting and localizing diseases while a radio-tracer travels across the body [2]. About heart ailments diagnosis is done using information contained in myocardial perfusion scintigrams [1]. Nuclear Medicine Imaging can be superimposed with CT or MRI to produce special views so-called co-registration or fusion of images. Nowadays we have the single unit of SPECT/CT and PET/CT that are able to perform both imaging examination at the same time. Artificial intelligence serves as a tool for detecting and localizing coronary artery disease mostly by using information contained in myocardial perfusion scintigrams [12]. The myocardial perfusion images were preprocessed in order to decrease the number of variables and to extract relevant features from the images. This preprocessing was accomplished by a 2-D Fourier transformation that used both rest and stress images[3]. Nuclear medicine imaging provides unique information that often cannot be obtained using other imaging procedures.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

The Pleistocene Delta of the Old Al Balatah River System, Northeastern Libya ...ijtsrd
The present article concerns with the topography, geomorphology and morphotectonic features of the vast Pleistocene inland delta of the paleoriver system of the Al Balatah Valley in northeastern Libya and its eastern extension in the Great Sand Sea of Egypt where it constitutes what is known as Nahda Plain immediately east of the Libyan Egyptian borders. The paleodelta was formed as a result of northward flowing of the old Al Balatah river streams into a huge Pleistocene freshwater lake occupying the area lying between latitudes 26° 30’ and 28° 30’, and longitudes 23° 15 and 25° 26’. It was previously described as belonging to the ancient Al Kufrah Paleoriver, however, evidences from the paleo drainage patterns show that this ancient delta is belonging to the Al Balatah Paleoriver, not to the Al Kufrah Paleoriver. The paleoriver basin of the Al Balatah Valley is bounded along its both eastern Egyptian and western Libyan sides by two intersecting groups of structurally controlled Nubia Sandstone landforms. The older group is made up of a parallel series of longitudinal ridges trending NW SE and representing bended up folded , cross bedded to horizontally Nubia Sandstone layers separated by low lying down folded tracks formed as a result of the Upper Cretaceous Turonian folding movement which affected the Western Desert of Egypt and Eastern Desert of Libya. The younger group is extending NE SW and consisting of a parallel series of huge mountain ranges of Nubia Sandstone made up of new plateaus depressions and dome like structures troughs formed as a result of the Late Oligocene refolding movement and dissecting the older Nubia Sandstone ridges. The results are fundamentally significant to the establishment of new agricultural communities in the inhospitable place known as the Great Sand Sea along both sides of the Egyptian Libyan borders especially when considering the threat of fresh water scarcity in both countries.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Cyber ethics is the study of the ethics relating to computers, as well as to user behavior and what computers are programmed to do, and how it affects individuals and society. It is the branch of philosophy that deals with what is considered to be right or wrong. Since the advent of computers, various governments have enacted regulations and while organizations have defined policies about cyberethics. Cyberethics also known as “internet ethics,” is a branch of applied ethics that examines the moral, legal, and social issues i.e. ethical questions brought about by the emergence of digital technologies and global virtual environments. Arising with the introduction of the internet are, filtering, accuracy, security, censorship, conflicts over privacy, property, accessibility, and others.

The Pleistocene Delta of the Old Al Balatah River System, Northeastern Libya ...ijtsrd
The present article concerns with the topography, geomorphology and morphotectonic features of the vast Pleistocene inland delta of the paleoriver system of the Al Balatah Valley in northeastern Libya and its eastern extension in the Great Sand Sea of Egypt where it constitutes what is known as Nahda Plain immediately east of the Libyan Egyptian borders. The paleodelta was formed as a result of northward flowing of the old Al Balatah river streams into a huge Pleistocene freshwater lake occupying the area lying between latitudes 26° 30’ and 28° 30’, and longitudes 23° 15 and 25° 26’. It was previously described as belonging to the ancient Al Kufrah Paleoriver, however, evidences from the paleo drainage patterns show that this ancient delta is belonging to the Al Balatah Paleoriver, not to the Al Kufrah Paleoriver. The paleoriver basin of the Al Balatah Valley is bounded along its both eastern Egyptian and western Libyan sides by two intersecting groups of structurally controlled Nubia Sandstone landforms. The older group is made up of a parallel series of longitudinal ridges trending NW SE and representing bended up folded , cross bedded to horizontally Nubia Sandstone layers separated by low lying down folded tracks formed as a result of the Upper Cretaceous Turonian folding movement which affected the Western Desert of Egypt and Eastern Desert of Libya. The younger group is extending NE SW and consisting of a parallel series of huge mountain ranges of Nubia Sandstone made up of new plateaus depressions and dome like structures troughs formed as a result of the Late Oligocene refolding movement and dissecting the older Nubia Sandstone ridges. The results are fundamentally significant to the establishment of new agricultural communities in the inhospitable place known as the Great Sand Sea along both sides of the Egyptian Libyan borders especially when considering the threat of fresh water scarcity in both countries.

Collective Bargaining and Employee Prosocial Behaviour in the Hospitality Sec...ijtsrd
This study primarily examined the relationship between collective bargaining and employee prosocial behaviour in the hospitality sector in Port Harcourt. The study adopted the cross sectional research survey design. Primary data was generated through structured questionnaire. The population of the study was 1674 employees of 11 selected hotels in Port Harcourt. The sample size was also drawn using the Krejcie and Morgan 1980 sample size determination table. The reliability of the instrument was achieved by the use of the Cronbach Alpha coefficient with all the items scoring above 0.70. The hypotheses were tested using the Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Coefficient. The tests were carried out at a 0.05 significance level. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between collective bargaining and employee prosocial behaviour in the hospitality sector in Port Harcourt. Hence, the study concludes that collective bargaining positively enhances employee prosocial behaviour in the hospitality sector in Port Harcourt. Implying that when organizations in hospitality sector actively engage in joint consultation practices, such as open communication, collaboration, and employee involvement in decision making, there is a notable improvement in prosocial behaviors among employees. Therefore, the study recommends that there is a need to strengthen collective bargaining platforms which involves creating structured forums where both management and employees can engage in meaningful discussions. This could include regular town hall meetings, feedback sessions, and collaborative workshops. By fostering an environment of open communication, these platforms can serve as a foundation for building a positive relationship between stakeholders.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

into the bloodstream, inhaled or swallowed. The radio-
tracer travels through the area being examined and
gives off energy in the form of gamma rays which are
detected by a gamma camera and a computer to create
images of the inside of your body. Nuclear medicine
imaging provides unique information that often cannot
be obtained using other imaging procedures [1].
Some common uses of procedures [1]
Cardiac nuclear medicine imaging is also
performed:
To visualise blood flow patterns to the heart walls,
called a myocardial perfusion scan.
To evaluate the presence and extent of suspected or
known coronary artery disease.
To determine the extent of injury to the heart
following a heart attack, or myocardial infarction.
To evaluate the results of bypass surgery or other
re-vascularisation procedures designed to restore
blood supply to the heart.
In conjunction with an electrocardiogram (ECG), to
evaluate heart-wall movement and overall heart
function with a technique called cardiac gating.
Diagnosis, Imaging and Instrumentation
Cardiac single photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) are
increasingly being used in the evaluation of patients
with suspected or known coronary artery disease by
assessing myocardial viability and perfusion and
providing invaluable diagnostic and prognostic
information [12]. With their capacity to quantify left
ventricular function as well as coronary flow reserve,
these myocardial perfusion imaging techniques are
superior to other methods for the detection of multi-
vessel coronary artery disease and potentially, for risk
stratification and prediction of cardiac events[8].
Hybrid SPECT/CT and PET/CT scanners allow
identification of flow-limiting coronary lesions and
therefore offering great potential for both diagnosis and
management [19,25]. Advances in molecular biology of
the cardiovascular system have helped to develop the
molecular imaging which may be useful to evaluate
targeted molecular and cellular abnormalities in the
future. SPECT imaging has superseded planar
perfusion imaging. Multiple planar images of the heart
using photons (γ-rays) emitted by radio-
pharmaceuticals are acquired by rotating detector heads
around the patient, and myocardial perfusion images
are reconstructed using principles close to CT
imaging[10]. It is widely available and used to assess
myocardial perfusion as well as ventricular function in
suspected IHD[31]. Since its introduction in the late
1980s for routine clinical practice, the principle has
remained the same; however, there have been several
significant modifications for better and optimal imaging
of the heart, for example 180°acquisitions have almost
entirely replaced 360° acquisitions. This has resulted in
faster acquisition times, in particular by using two-
headed cameras at a 90° angle. Back-projection
reconstruction of the images has now been mostly
replaced by iterative reconstruction. This technique
requires high computing power as it is calculation
intensive. Although it has routinely been available in
nuclear medicine since the 1990s, its use has been
widespread only in the last decade. This technique is
now being introduced to CT imaging owing to the even
higher computing power required for higher resolution
of CT images[19,20].The most common radio-tracers
used in cardiac PET are ammonia (13NH3) and
rubidium(82Rb) chloride for assessing myocardial
perfusion and 2-(fluorine-18) fluoro-2-deoxy-d-
glucose(FDG) for evaluating myocardial glucose
metabolism. 13NH3 has a first-pass extraction of
80%and requires energy for myocardial uptake. As with
SPECT myocardial perfusion agents, up take is linear
over a wide range of myocardial blood flow rates
except at very high flow rates. Imaging with 13NH3
requires either an on-site cyclotron or proximity to a
regional positron radiopharmaceutical source center.
[14] 82RbCl is a potassium analog that has a first-pass
extraction of 65% and also requires energy
formyocardial uptake. Repeat studies may be
performed due to its very short half-life. An advantage
of 82RbCl over 13NH3 is that it is produced by a
strontium-82/82Rb generator without the need for a
costly cyclotron. [14,19]
FDG is used in the evaluation of glucose utilization in
Ischemic myocardium with suppressed mitochondrial
β-oxidation of fatty acids. Ng et al showed that insulin
infusion in the fasting state reduced myocardial
extraction of free fatty acids by 85% and stimulated
myocardial uptake of both FDG and glucose. FDG
uptake is heterogeneous in normal myocardium in the
fasting state in diabetic patients as well as in patients
with normal glucose tolerance. Increased FDG up take
is seen in ischemic tissue, whereas markedly reduced or
absent uptake indicates scar. Oral glucose loading and
continuous infusion of insulin, potassium, and glucose
have been used to enhance myocardial FDG up take

[20,22,]. In a study by Knuuti et al, images obtained in
non-diabetic patients after insulin infusion were of
higher quality than those obtained after oral glucose
loading. Oh take et al reported similar findings in
patients with non–insulin-dependent diabetes. Some
investigators have described insulin infusion as
cumbersome for routine clinical use. Oral glucose
loading and bolus injections of insulin have been
suggested as possible alternatives[20,22].
Less commonly used PET radio-tracers are carbon-11
acetate for assessing regional myocardialoxygen
consumption, C-11 palmitate for measuring fatty acid
metabolism, and oxygen-15 water for quantifying
myocardial blood flow [25].
Radio-pharmaceuticals
Myocardial perfusion: Thallium-201 chloride was the
first pharmaceutical to be widely used clinically for
imaging myocardial perfusion. It is an excellent agent
for imaging perfusion and is still used to image the
heart in many centres. Because of its relatively long
half-life and low energy X-ray emission, it is not the
ideal agent for imaging, giving a relatively large
radiation dose with lower image quality than
technetium agents. It behaves like the K+ ion (via
Na/KATPase), and is redistributed fairly rapidly,
starting 20 min after injection [20, 22,].Ischemic heart
disease: Nuclear Medicine plays an important role in
detection of is chemic heart disease either reversible or
irreversible (IHD), using a dedicated radio-
pharmaceuticals in detection clinically, the most
commonly used radio-pharmaceuticals are 99mTc-
Sestamibi,99m Tc-Tetrofosmin and 201Tl. This study
focused on using counts/second /pixel(c/s/p),
reversibility% among arteries i.e. LAD, LCX and RCA
in evaluation of 99mTc-MIBI and 201TL bio-
distribution in both conditions of stress and rest, and the
factors affecting reversibility such as age, gender and
obesity[17].
Coronary heart disease
Radionuclide stress testing involves injecting a
radioactive is otope(typically thallium or cardiolite)
into the patient's vein after which an image of the
patient's heart becomes visible with a special camera.
The radioactive isotopes are absorbed by the normal
heart muscle. Nuclear images are obtained in the
resting condition, and again immediately following
exercise. The two sets of images are then compared.
During exercise, if a blockage in a coronary artery
results in diminished blood flow to a part of the cardiac
muscle, this region of the heart will appear as a relative
"cold spot" on the nuclear scan. This cold spot is not
visible on the images that are taken while the patient is
at rest (when coronary flow is adequate). Radionuclide
stress testing, while more time-consuming and
expensive than a simple ECST, greatly enhances the
accuracy in diagnosing coronary heart disease[10].
Artificial Neural Network
Artificial neural networks serve as a tool for detecting
and localising coronary artery disease mostly by using
information contained in myocardial perfusion
scintigrams. Neural network diagnosed coronary artery
disease in a population of patients ranging from 74 to
410. The diagnosed cases of coronary artery disease by
artificial neural networks was comparable to agold
standard, which consisted of a coronary-angiography,
the interpretation of myocardial perfusion studies by
two human experts or all clinical patient data including
ECG analysis, results of a physical exercise test as well
as the patient’s history. All the applied models of
artificial neural networks had a three layer structure and
a feed forward flow of information. Each neural
network consisted of three layers: an input layer, a
hidden layer and an output layer. The number of
neurons in an input layer varied between 11 and 256
depending on the used matrix of scintigrams and other
data, whereas the number of neurons in a hidden layer
ranged from 3 to140. An output layer consisted of one,
two or eight units. Input signals of an artificial neural
network which diagnosed coronary artery disease used
all the clinical data[31]. The myocardial perfusion
images were pre-processed in order to decrease the
number of variables and to extract relevant features
from the images. This pre-processing was
accomplished by a two dimensional Fourier
transformation that used both rest and stress images.
After this transformation, 30 values were selected
constituting the real and imaginary part of the Fourier
coefficients were used to the input neurons. Other
studies have used additional features: male or female,
an exercise test, resting ECG, the heart rate and
workload. The characteristics of the input signals of the
artificial neural network (ANN) were designed so that
each neuron would represent pixels of bull’s eye
images. [25,32] When the output layer contained one
neuron that encoded whether coronary artery disease
was present or not the results were binary values such
as 0 or 1. Another study contained eight output neurons
that encoded coronary artery disease and the severity of
disease was based on a classification into seven
abnormal categories and one normal case. In most of

the studies, training of artificial neural networks was
based on the back propagation algorithm. It used
commercial computer software that simulated artificial
neural networks from among JETNET3.0, MichiZane,
VieNet2. The list contains the number of neurons, each
layer of artificial neural networks (an input layer,
hidden and output), the learning method (BP, Bayes)
and the number of patients. It is based on the available
studies in which artificial neural networks have been
applied to predict coronary artery disease and have
been shown to perform even better than experienced
[32].
1st
Case study[16]
A 58 year old male presents to the ER with chest pain.
Past medical history:
1. Coronary disease.
2. Cocaine abuse.
3. Questionable history of emphysema.
4. The patient has chronic joint pain problems.
Family history: Positive for hypertension. His brother
died of a heart attack at age 45.
Social history:
The patient lives in the country. He has worked at odd
jobs most of his life, working in farming. He has a
smoking habit, currently of 4-5 cigarettes a day, more
in the past. He smokes crack cocaine on a weekly basis;
although he indicates that he is trying to cut back. He
does not have any history of alcohol abuse or
significant use. Hospital Course: On June 4, 2003 a 58-
year-oldAfrican-American gentleman with history of
emphysema was transferred from another hospital with
dynamic EKG changes and chest pain that occurred
four to five hours prior to presentation, did not really
subside with rest, which usually subsides the patient's
pain. The patient admitted cocaine use five days prior
to presentation. The patient also admitted to increased
chest pain episodes and shortness of breath on exertion
for three to four weeks. The patient was admitted to the
CCU. He was started on Integralin, aspirin,
Simvastatin. Beta blocker was held due to cocaine use.
The patient was taken to the cath lab on 6/5/03, which
showed disease in the left circumflex, mid 60% in the
large thrombus. The patient received PCIstenting to the
mid left circumflex and OM III. LV-gram showed a
30% EF with severe lateralhypokinesis. Decadron was
continued post procedure for 18 hours. He was also
started on Plavix. The patient's tropon in peaked at 166
and then trended downward afterward. Echo was done
to reevaluate bilateral function, showing an EF of 30%.
On 6/6/03 Amlodipine was added in an effort to
decrease coronary spasm. It was decided to hold beta
blocker due to patient's cocaine use and due to patient's
very low blood pressure no ACE inhibitor was started
at this time with plans to start at some point in the
future as an outpatient. The patient was transferred to
Team One cardiology and remained stable. He was
discharged on 6/9/03.The patient returned to the
hospital on August 17th. He has been unable to afford
refills of his medications and thus has not been on any
medicines for months. The patient also has history of
crack cocaine abuse and continues his habit even after
multiple warnings as to the adverse effects on his
coronary disease that this would invoke. The patient
had smoked crack cocaine the day before presentation
and had experienced substernal chest pain with typical
angina symptoms the afternoon and evening before the
morning of presentation. His symptoms did not
improve and seemed to get worse. He had associated
nausea and vomiting with shortness of breath. Ref: [16]
The patient presented to the ER and was given
nitroglycerine with some relief of pain. The patient was
admitted to the CCU service. He was put on oxygen
and serial cardiac enzymes were ordered. He was
started on a heparin drip in addition to Plavix and
aspirin. He was not started on a beta blocker due to his
history of cocaine use and his heart rate and blood
pressure were actually within good parameters. He had
lipid studies and was started on a statin. He was given
no additional nitroglycerin or morphine as the patient
did not have recurrent chest pain during hospitalisation.
Urine drug screen was positive for cocaine. The
cardiology service recommended coronary angiogram
the following day. The patient however did not want to
have any invasive testing particularly anything such as
an angiogram.

illicit drug use, a social worker was contacted for
assistance in helping this patient get medical assistance
and into some kind of drug rehabilitation program. The
patient did seem interested in drug abuse treatment and
was given extensive information on possible treatment
programs that he could enroll himself in by our social
worker. The patient continued to refuse invasive
testing, but did consent to a nuclear medicine stress
test. Nuclear Medicine IV Persantine Stress. The
resting ECG showed sinus rhythm with T-wave
abnormalities. Resting heart rate was 59 bpm and blood
pressure was 82/62. Following Persantine injection, the
heart rate was 75 bpm and blood pressure was 84/50.
The patient complained of shortness of breath, but
denied any chest pain. There were no significant ST
changes over baseline. Impression: Normal heart rate
response to IV-persantine without significant ST
changes over baseline. The patient did complain of
shortness of breath during the exam. Myocardial
Perfusion Study with SPECT. 10.8 mCi of 99m
TcSestamibi was infused at rest. SPECT images of the
myocardium were obtained at approximately one hour
delay. Subsequently, 39 mg of IV Persantine were
infused over four minutes for pharmacy logical
stressing. Seven minutes into the Persantine Stress Test,
the patient was injected with 31.8 mCi of 99m
TcSestamibi, and the imaging sequence was repeated.
A large fixed perfusion defect is seen involving the
entire lateral wall, the anterolateral wall, distal anterior
wall, apex, and inferolateral wall. This is primarily
fixed. There may be a very small amount of
reversibility involving the anterior wall. The septal wall
is the only normal appearing wall. A Thallium viability
study is recommended to evaluate if any of this
myocardium might, in fact, be hibernating. (not
performed)
Impression: Large fixed perfusion defect involving the
lateral, inferior, apex, in ferolateral walls. A thallium
viability is recommended to evaluate for hibernating
myocardium. The patient's physician was notified of
this result. Quantitative gated SPECT: Quantitative
gated SPECT study was performed during the stress
acquisition. The end diastolic volume was calculated at
180cc. The end systolic volume was calculated at
148cc. The left ventricular ejection fraction was
calculated at 18 percent. There is dyskinesis involving
the apex on the CINE images.
Impression: Dilated left ventricular with severe global
hypokinesis and dyskinesis of the apex, with an
ejection fraction of 18 percent. The patient was
discharged after three days displaying no recurrent pain
or other angina-like symptoms. The patient was
discharged in stable condition with cardiac diet and
advised to limit activity to non-stressful activities for
the next month. He was also strongly advised to stay
away from drugs of abuse and to enroll himself in a
drug treatment program. The patient was also started on
lisinopril at 10 mg p.o.q.d. in addition to other
medicines.
Medications on discharge:
1. Zocor 20 mg p.o.q.d.
2. Lisinopril 10 mg p.o.q.d.
3. Aspirin 325 mg p.o.q.d.
4. Plavix 75 mg p.o.q.d.
5. Spironolactone 25 mg p.o.q.d.
6. Nitroglycerin SL prn
Four days following the discharge of the patient he
presented himself to the ER because of some difficulty
breathing and swallowing and was found to have
angioedema of the uvula and bottom lip. He presented
with complaints of lip swelling x 1 day. He denies chest
pain, diaphoresis. He had a small amount of cocaine on
the day prior to admission. He was admitted to
observation, and given IV Benadryl as well as H2
Cimetidine p.o. q.8h. He was started on hydrocortisone
and had one administration of epinephrine. His
shortness of breath and difficulty swallowing subsided.
It was believed that he experienced an allergic reaction
to the Lisinopril. The patient was discharged the
following day after evaluation by internal medicine.
Patient was without complaints, and instructed not to
continue the ace inhibitor at this point, and once again
instructed on the importance of cessation of cocaine.
Only four days following his last admission, the patient
was once again admitted. On the day of this admission
the patient elapsed and was unresponsive. MEMS were
called and shocked the patient by EED. The patient was
shocked six times, and then started on Lidocaine
100mg IV and brought to the MICU at UAMS. He was
sedated and intubated on arrival. Aspiration pneumon it
is was suspected and the patient was started on
Clindamycin and Cefepime. Chest x-ray later showed
left lower lobe infiltrate. The patient continued to spike
temperatures and his white continued to increase. The
patient was started on aspirin, Plavix, heparin, and IV
Amiodarone was loaded. The Infectious Disease team
saw the patient and recommended starting gatifloxacin,
vancomycin, and Imipenim and stopping the

Clindamycin and the Cefepimebecause they felt that,
because of the patient's recent hospitalization, he would
be treated fornoscomial organisms as well. The patient
was started on vancomycin and imipenem IV,
butgatifloxacin was held because it has an interaction
with Amiodarone.An echocardiogram was repeated and
showed that the EF had improved to 30-35%. The
patient continued to improve on the IV antibiotics and
became afebrile. The white count started to decrease.
His hemoglobin and hematocrit was noted to be low but
stable. Social work was consulted and discussed plans
to go to a rehab unit with the patient. However, the
patient became evasive and did not wish to be sent to a
rehab unit. The patient also refused an IV line and IV
antibiotics had to be stopped. Therefore, he was started
on 400 mg q.d. of p.o.gatifloxacin for seven more days.
The patient contacted his family and was discharged 14
days after his admission. The patient was given two
follow up appointments and also instructed concerning
his medications. The patient was also once again
advised on refraining from alcohol or further cocaine
use and the risk of sudden cardiac death.
2ND
CASE STUDY [17]
A 48 year old black woman admitted who is suffering
from hypertension and chest pain.
Height: 5'5"; Weight: 194 lbs.
ECG Results:
Normal Sinus Rhythm
Nonspecific T-wave abnormality
Otherwise normal ECG
Ventricular Rate 64 bpm
Nuclear Medicine: She was referred to the nuclear
medicine department for evaluation of possible
myocardial ischemia.
IV Persantine Stress. Under rest conditions the patient
was injected with 0.56 mg per kg of IV Persantine (47
mg total) over 4 minutes. The resting heart rate was 59
beats per minute and blood pressure was 99/56. The
EKG demonstrated normal sinus rhythm without acute
change. Following Persantine infusion the heart rate
measured 75 beats per minute and blood pressure was
110/74. The patient reported no systemic symptoms.
Imoression: Physiologic response to IV Persantine
without Ischemic change identified.
Myocardial Perfusion Study with SPECT:At rest the
patient received an IV injection of 11 mCi of Tc-99m
Sestamibi. SPECT images of the myocardium were
obtained after a 1hour delay. Seven minutes into the
Persantine infusion the patient received an additional
32 mCi of Tc-99m Sestamibi and the imaging sequence
repeated.
Post stress images demonstrate a defect in perfusion
involving the anterior wall of the left ventricle.
Impression: Reversible defect involving the anterior
wall of the left ventricle. The findings are consistent
with a lad distribution lesion.
Quantitative Gated SPECT: Gated SPECT imaging
was performed during stress acquisition. The left
ventricular end diastolic volume was calculated at 79
cc, the end systolic volume at 32 cc, and the left
ventricular ejection fraction at 62 percent.
Impression: Normal quantitative gated SPECT. The
referring physician in the family medicine service was
notified of the results.
The patient left the hospital after the procedure. Her
physician called her at home and told her the results of
her positive stress test that morning and told her to go
to the ER. The patient said she was experiencing
significant exertional chest pain, but no nausea,
diaphoresis, dizziness, or dyspnea. The patient
complained of chest pain with heart racing and said she
was not feeling well. She said she would go to the ER
tonight.
Conclusion
A complete assessment of many cardiac disorders,
particularly CAD, requires both anatomical and
functional information. This can be obtained in a
variety of ways and the common imaging techniques
overlap in their capabilities, particularly for the
assessment of myocardial viability, function, and
coronary anatomy. NICE guidance in the UK on the
assessment of patients newly presenting with possible
angina states that the accuracy and cost of the
techniques are similar, and that choice between them
can be based on local availability and expertise. While
their accuracy might be similar in ideal hands, it is not
known if the newer perfusion techniques perform as
well in the real world and there have been no robust
comparative studies of cost effectiveness. Each of the
techniques is supported by appropriateness criteria that

overlap in the common ground of patients with an
intermediate likelihood of coronary artery disease
(CAD).One important difference between
echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, cardiovascular
MRI, and CT is that they have been developed in the
hands of different specialists, such as cardiology,
nuclear medicine, or radiology. Professional and
financial considerations mean that a technique is more
likely to be used if it is in the hands of the referring
physician. Thus, in some cases, the choice is made in
the best interests of the doctor rather than the patient.
There are considerable differences between countries in
this regard. The interests of the imaging industry have
also in some cases influenced the development of
techniques. Such a situation should not prevail. The
group agreed that a balanced use of cardiac imaging
will best be achieved by education of users and
providers of imaging services, and that this should be
independent as far as possible of the background
training of the specialist, be it cardiology, nuclear
medicine, or radiology. The group was also optimistic
that increasing collaboration between specialists and
subspecialists would allow the best interests of the
patient to prevail and the impressive developments in
all areas of cardiac imaging in recent years to be
translated into better outcomes for patients.[free
