Frequency and Severity of Myocardial Perfusion Abnormalities Using Tc-99m MIBI SPECT in Cardiac Syndrome X

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 ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging and multislice CT are complementary in CAD detection

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and multislice CT (MSCT) both enable noninvasive imaging of suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The former detects ischemia, whereas the latter identifies ...
