Introduction Evaluating patients with multivessel coronary disease using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) remains a challenge as the extent and severity of the disease can be underestimated. This phenomenon occurs in part due to balanced ischemia and inaccuracy of traditional devices to identify small changes in coronary flow in the stress phase., New gamma cameras with cadmium and zinc telluride (CZT) detectors that are already commercially available have shown higher temporal and spatial resolution,– theoretically enabling dynamic acquisition of images and […]
