Comparison between prone and upright imaging of the inferior wall using (201)TlCl myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography.

Conclusion: In comparison with upright imaging, prone imaging has a higher rate of suppression of attenuation artifacts from the diaphragm. However, the difference does not seem to affect the images visually. Therefore, upright and prone imaging can be used interchangeably to evaluate the inferior wall.
