Introduction.
Previously we proposed a cellular imaging technique to determine the surviving fraction of transplanted cells in vivo.
Epicardial kinetics using Indium-111 determined the Debris Impulse Response Function (DIRF) and leakage coefficient parameters.
Convolution-based modeling which corrected for these signal contributions indicated that 111In activity was quantitative of cell viability with half-lives within 20 hrs to 37 days.
We determine if the 37-day upper limit remains valid for endocardial injections by comparing previous epicardial cell leakage parameter estimates to those for endocardial cells.
Methods.
Normal canine myocardium was injected (111In-tropolone) epicardially (9 injections) or endocardially (10 injections).
Continuous whole body and SPECT scans for 5 hours were acquired with three weekly follow-up imaging sessions up to 20–26 days.
Time-activity curves evaluated each injection type.
Results.
The epicardial and endocardial kinetics were not significantly different (Epi: 1286±253; Endo: 1567±470 hours P=.62).
Conclusion.
The original epicardial estimate of leakage kinetics has been validated for use in endocardial injections.
