  Combined supine prone Myocardial Perfusion SPECT (MPS) has been shown to reduce attenuation artifact in comparison to supine only MPS in mixed gender populations with varying risk for coronary artery disease. The aim of this study is to determine whether the additional prone MPS has an advantage over the supine only MPS in determining the diagnostic value of myocardial perfusion SPECT inpatient with known and unknown coronary artery disease. Material and methods: This prospective study was performed on 93 patients, divided into two major group’s patients with known coronary artery disease and without known coronary artery disease. The duration of this study was 06 months including 03 months for clinical follow up? All patients who were assessed using standard stress supine protocol in addition to stress prone included who were observed either inferior, an.. Read More»
