Aim: Of the study was to show that changing patient position from supine to prone results in improved specificity of myocardial SPECT (MS).
Methods: We examined the influence of patient position in MS on the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) in 151 patients. By using a Tc-99m-labeled compound (Tetrofosmin, Myoview, Nycomed, Amersham) examinations could be performed in supine and prone position within 35 minutes.
