Background: Patient radioprotection in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI)-SPECT is important but difficult to optimize. The aim of this study was to adjust injected activity according to patient size-weight or BMI-by using a cardiofocal collimator camera.
Methods: The correlation equation between size and observed counts in image was determined in patients who underwent stress Tc-99m-sestamibi MPI-SPECT/CT with a cardiofocal collimator-equipped conventional Anger SPECT/CT system.
