Analysis of stress-only imaging, comparing upright and supine CZT camera acquisition to conventional gamma camera images with and without attenuation correction, with coronary angiography as a reference

ConclusionsStress-only upright and supine CZT imaging was non-inferior statistically to attenuation-corrected stress-only Anger camera imaging. Nevertheless, stress-only CZT imaging may be associated with reduced diagnostic sensitivity for some readers compared to attenuation-corrected Anger camera images, which may be less acceptable clinically compared to stress plus rest images.
