Influência das características mamárias na cintilografia miocárdica pelo método Monte Carlo

Abstract

Background: By reducing the specificity associated with loss of information, the influence of attenuation of the breasts is very important in myocardial perfusion studies. However, although several studies have been conducted over the past years, little has been developed to determine accurately the influence of the characteristics of the breasts on the quality of myocardial scintigraphy, avoiding additional exposure to radiation.
