Dose reduction in half-time myocardial perfusion SPECT-CT with multifocal collimation

Background Recent technological advances in myocardial perfusion imaging may warrant the use of lower injected activity. We evaluated whether quantitative measures of stress myocardial perfusion defects using Tc-99m sestamibi and low-energy high-resolution (LEHR) collimators are equivalent to lower dose SPECT-CT with cardiac multifocal collimators and software (IQ·SPECT).
