## Background: Attenuation artifact remains a substantial limitation to confident interpretation of images and reduces laboratory efficiency by requiring comparison of stress and rest image sets. attenuation-corrected stress-only imaging has the potential to ameliorate these limitations. ## Method
SPECT images of the brain can be obtained using either 123I labelled amines or 99mTc-hexamethylpropyleneamineoxime (HM-PAO). Both materials produce images which are blood flow dominated and so appear similar in normal subjects, although the respective mechanisms of uptake are not yet finally establi
Systematic analysis of the rotating cinematic raw images derived from single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is performed to assess for patient motion, cardiac size, and proximity of extracardiac structures that may affect interpretation of the short-an
