SPECT blood flow improves per-vessel sensitivity of myocardial perfusion imaging to detect ischemia
Conclusions: In this small series of consecutive patients SPECT MBF was more sensitive that MPI at detecting myocardial ischemia on a per vessel and per patient analysis. These results are promising but will require further validation in a larger prospective cohort or through multicenter studies.
