Figure 9 Relationship Between Findings on 64-Slice CTA and Stress SPECT MPI on a Patient Basis
Of 44 patients without significant coronary artery stenoses on computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA), stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) was normal in 91%. Of 15 patients with apparent significant stenoses ( 50%) on CTA, stress MPI was abnormal in 60%. SPECT = single-photon emission computed tomography. Data from Brooks et al. (21).
