What is the benefit of CT-based attenuation correction in myocardial perfusion SPET?

In multimodality imaging, CT-derived transmission maps are used for attenuation correction (AC) of SPET or PET data. Regarding SPET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), however, the bene t of CT-based AC (CT-AC) has been questioned. Although most attenuation-related artifacts are removed by this tech...
