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

## Background: The ability of stress radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging to predict adverse cardiac events is well accepted. as left ventricular systolic function has also been shown to be an important prognostic indicator, the objective of this study was to determine whether electrocardiogra
## Background: Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (atp), a potent and inexpensive coronary vasodilator, was introduced as a pharmacologic stress agent for thallium 201 single photon emission computed tomography (spect). however, there has been no direct comparison of atp and adenosine as myocardial stressor
