Simultaneous perfusion/function imaging.

TL;DR: QGS and ECTb values of cardiac function computed from 8-frame gated perfusion SPECT correlate very well with each other and correlate well with MR.

TL;DR: This technique has the potential to reduce health-care costs by reducing the number of unnecessary coronary angiographies that are now performed on patients with equivocal results of perfusion or incomplete risk stratification from standard myocardial perfusion SPECT.

TL;DR: Gating adds considerable value to Tc-tetrofosmin SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging in characterizing fixed defects and potentially improves test specificity.

TL;DR: Gated SPECT of stress-injected sestamibi correlates well with echocardiographic assessment of regional function and thus adds information to perfusion SPECT, and in patients without previous myocardial infarction, a single-injection stress perfusion/rest function approach can substitute for conventional stress/rest myocardIAL perfusion imaging.

TL;DR: The high degree of sensitivity of the radionuclide test suggests that it is most appropriately applied to patient groups with a high prevalence of disease, including those considered for cardiac catheterization.

TL;DR: Gender-matched stress normal limits and criteria for abnormality for rest-stress 99mTc-sestamibi same-day myocardial perfusion imaging correlate well with expert visual interpretation of stress myocardIAL perfusion defects.

TL;DR: Automatic reorientation offers the potential for consistently faster and more accurate image processing and analysis and is an important step towards totally operator-less management of myocardial perfusion SPECT data.
