SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE DIAGNOSTIC UTILITY OF RUBIDIUM-82 POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY PERFUSION IMAGING IN COMPARISON TO SINGLE PHOTON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY

Standard Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is used in assessment of patients with known or suspected coronary disease(CAD), but its diagnostic accuracy has been limited by tissue attenuation and the need for detector collimation.
