PART I: PURPOSE

The purpose of this guideline is to assist nuclear medicine practitioners in recommending, performing, interpreting and reporting the results of myocardial perfusion imaging studies.

PART II: BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND DEFINITIONS

Myocardial perfusion imaging is a procedure that utilizes an intravenously administered radiopharmaceutical to depict the distribution of nutritional blood flow in the myocardium. Perfusion imaging is useful ...
