However, even under the proper preparation, diffuse myocardial <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake is frequently observed in the failing heart and misleads the CS disease activity. The aim of this study was to establish the diagnostic value of resting myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for assessing CS disease activity in patients with diffuse myocardial <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake. <i>Methods</i>: We examined 39 patients with either histologically or clinically proven CS. All patients underwent <sup>18</sup>F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) and resting <sup>99m</sup>Tc-SPECT. The presence of perfusion-metabolic mismatch was evaluated with generating polar maps of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET and <sup>99m</sup>Tc-SPECT images. <i>Results</i>: Increased myocardial <sup>18</sup>F-FDG uptake was observed in 33 (85%) of 39 patients.

However, current standard cylindrical PET scanners are not optimized for cardiac imaging because they are designed mainly for whole-body imaging. In this study, we proposed two compact geometries, the elliptical geometry and the D-shape geometry, for cardiac-dedicated PET systems. We then evaluated their performance compared with a whole-body-size cylindrical geometry by using the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit. In the simulation, an elliptical water phantom was scanned for 10-sec, and we calculated the sensitivity and the noise-equivalent count rate (NECR). Subsequently, a digital chest phantom was scanned for 30-sec and the coincidence data were reconstructed by in-house image reconstruction software. We evaluated the image noise in the liver region and the contrast recoveries in the heart region. Even with the limited number of detectors, the proposed compact geometries showed higher sensitivity than the whole-body geometry. The D-shape geometry achieved 47% higher NECR and 44% lower image noise compared with the whole-body cylindrical geometry. However, the contrasts in the hot area obtained by the proposed compact geometries were not as good as that obtained by the whole-body cylindrical geometry. There was no considerable difference in image quality between the elliptical geometry and the D-shape geometry. In conclusion, the compact geometries we have proposed are promising designs for a high-sensitivity and low-cost cardiac-dedicated PET system.
