“…With the advent of SPECT/CT cameras, the role of gated SPECT to identify attenuation artifacts has virtually disappeared due to the excellent attenuation correction with CT. This enables stress-only imaging in the majority of patients with normal perfusion findings that also confers an excellent cardiovascular outcome [6,7]. Since in the current investigation [1] no attenuation correction of CZT images was performed, myocardial perfusion imaging in conjunction with wall motion analysis most likely was needed in a certain number of patients to avoid false-positive findings due to attenuation artifacts, in particular in obese individuals and women [8].…”
