Objective: To evaluate whether computed tomography attention correction (CTAC) has incremental diagnostic value for single photon emission tomography (SPET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Chinese patients.
Subjects And Methods: This retrospective study consisted of 181 suspected CAD patients who underwent one-stop SPET examination by MPI combined with a CT scan. Two observers independently evaluated non-attenuation correction (NAC) and CTAC MPI images, and coronary angiography (CAG) results were used as reference standards.
Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the characteristics of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in Chinese population with suspected coronary artery disease (SCAD).
Methods: We studied 205 Chinese patients with SCAD who were subjected to combined MPI and CAC score (CACS) study on a hybrid single photon emission tomography/computed tomography (SPET/CT) scanner.
Results: a) Among the 205 patients 132 (64.
