Furthermore, ischemia may not necessarily be localized to an entire myocardial area as in patients with epicardial coronary stenosis. Indeed myocardial ischemia may be patchily distributed in small ...

Age is a strong independent predictor of abnormal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and inducible myocardial ischemia. The value of age in ...

The Assessment Report and the submissions reviewed the literature and focused on 2 aspects separately: the diagnostic performance of SPECT, and its long-term prognostic value. Much of the evidence ...

Spectrum Dynamics installs the cutting-edge methodology for attenuation correction for its D-SPECT® Series digital camera that eliminates need for CT transmission scan and multiple-positions scans.

Thirteen patients out of 36 (36.1%) showed abnormal myocardial perfusion scan. Of the 23 females patients, 9 (39.1%) had abnormal Tc-99m MIBI SPECT and 14 (60.9%) showed normal scan. Of the 13 males 4 ...
