The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of IQ-SPECT gated blood pool (MUGA) under conditions of decreased scan time (ST).Ten patients underwent routine 26-min, two-view planar, followed by LEHR and IQ-SPECT MUGA, on a Siemens dual-head Symbia scanner. Six 'back and forth' 4-min SPECT scans were summed into 4-, 8-, 12-, 16-, 20-, and 24-min equivalent scans, and reconstructed iteratively (IQ-SPECT and LEHR) and with FBP (LEHR). Uniformity, contrast, and wall motion were scored on a five-point scale. Linear regressions of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) were performed between FBP, Flash 3D, and IQ-SPECT versus planar and Flash 3D and IQ-SPECT versus FBP. Agreement tables between Flash 3D and IQ-SPECT versus FBP LV EF were generated using a normal versus cardiotoxicity threshold of 50
