Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of same day reststress myocardial perfusion SPECT (MP SPECT) protocol by using technetium-99m (Tc-99m) furifosmin in conjunction with dobutamine stress test in subjects in whom coronary artery disease (CAD) had been proven or excluded at coronary angiography (CA).
