Although myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) imaging is widely used in current clinical
practice, it suffers from some fundamental limitations including long image acquisition, low …

Conclusion Gated SPECT studies provide important information about cardiac function that
is independent of perfusion data. This is permitted by the generalization of the nongated …

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) performed using Single Photon Emission Computed
Tomography (SPECT) remains the most common procedure in nuclear cardiology, owing to …

Nuclear cardiology is an evolving specialty that has recently benefited from technological
and radiopharmaceutical advances. As a result there has been an increase in the accuracy …

The combination of myocardial perfusion and poststress ejection fraction (EF) provides
incremental prognostic information. This study assessed predictors of nonfatal myocardial …

Since our last review of the prognostic accuracy of stress myocardial perfusion SPECT, 1
numerous advances in the field have promulgated tremendous (and oft characterized as …

Since the development of gated SPECT imaging approximately 10 y ago, this technique is
now almost universally used as an adjunct for radionuclide perfusion imaging, enabling the …
