## 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

## Background: A gender-independent stress normal database and criteria for abnormality for attenuation-corrected rest-stress technetium 99m sestamibi same-day myocardial perfusion imaging were developed by evaluation of 112 patients, validated against an obese population of 95 patients from four d
## 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. The purpose of this study was to compare stress supine single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging with attenuation correction (AC) via computed tomography-based attenuation maps with stress prone SPECT imaging with regard to the rate of equivocal interpretation of rest/st
