Background: Increased recognition of ionizing radiation risks has placed an emphasis on the appropriate use of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Hospitalists frequently order MPI in the evaluation of chest pain and are thus at the forefront of its inpatient utilization.
Methods: We collected baseline figures for a group MPI rate (March 2010-February 2011) as well as individual MPI rates for hospitalists caring for cardiac floor patients at a community teaching hospital.
