title: Incorporation of right ventricular counts as a bullseye artifact.
abstract: Although extensive information regarding right ventricular uptake of thallium and a variety of bullseye artifacts exist, previous reports have not recognized a bullseye artifact due to right ventricular uptake of thallium. This case report again emphasizes the need for careful inspection of tomographic images while interpreting the bullseye. It is the first reported case of a bullseye artifact due to incorporation of right ventricular counts into the bullseye representation of left ventricular septal wall counts.
