IMAGING TECHNIQUES: Myocardial perfusion imaging [PDF]
Heart, 2000 Non-invasive images of the myocardium that reflect myocardial perfusion can be obtained either by using conventional nuclear medicine radiopharmaceuticals and cameras or by positron emission tomography (PET). This review will focus on myocardial perfusion imaging using conventional approaches; a subsequent article in this series will focus on PET ...

Prevalence of myocardial viability assessed by single photon emission computed tomography in patients with chronic ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction [PDF]
, 2002 OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of myocardial viability by technetium-99m (Tc-99m)-tetrofosmin/fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy. DESIGN:

Myocardial perfusion imaging with PET [PDF]
Imaging in Medicine, 2013 PET-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) allows accurate measurement of myocardial perfusion, absolute myocardial blood flow and function at stress and rest in a single study session performed in approximately 30 min. Various PET tracers are available for MPI, and rubidium-82 or nitrogen-13-ammonia is most commonly used.

Impact of incomplete ventricular coverage on diagnostic performance of myocardial perfusion imaging. [PDF]
, 2017 In the context of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), there is ongoing debate on the merits of using technically complex acquisition methods to achieve whole-heart spatial coverage, rather than conventional 3-slice ...
