Is computed tomography attenuation correction more efficient than gated single photon emission computed tomography analysis in improving the diagnostic performance of myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with low prevalence of ischemic heart disease?
Its widespread availability, cost effectiveness, safety in terms of radiation exposure, and ability to significantly improve myocardial perfusion imaging specificity and accuracy make gated SPECT a self-sufficient modality for coronary artery disease screening and follow-up, whereas CT-AC should be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
Most patients are reluctant to have a trainee surgeon operate on them. This was strongly related to the level of education attained by the patient and the age of the patient.
