title: Myocardial perfusion single photon computed tomography: An Atlas.
abstract: The purpose of this Teaching Atlas is to provide the reader with both image recognition and an understanding of the basis for myocardial perfusion single photon computed tomography (SPECT) images interpretation. The objective is to present a wide variety of myocardial perfusion cases, both relevant and to some extent in-depth, to be used by nuclear cardiologist/nuclear medicine physicians as well as trainees in cardiology, radiology and nuclear medicine. In recent years, the field of nuclear cardiology has made major advances in both radiopharmaceuticals and instrumentation. Attenuation correction techniques have and will continue to improve the diagnostic accuracy of myocardial perfusion SPECT. Several attenuation correction aspects are included in this Atlas.
