1533 Introduction: The true utility of a test lies on the ability of its results to guide
management. Several studies have reported low rates of abnormal perfusion and referral to …

Background Referral patterns to coronary angiography following positron emission
tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and reasons for non-referral …

510 Background: A decline in test utilization and prevalence of inducible ischemia during
single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) …

Background Studies have shown a large disconnect between evidence of significant
ischemia on stress testing and subsequent patient management. Even with myocardial …

Aims To examine whether test utilization and prevalence of ischemia with positron emission
tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) follow the previously described …

Background Patients with previously identified CAD who present with chest pain often are
referred for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid …

Background Appropriate use criteria for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) were developed
to categorize scenarios where MPI might be beneficial (appropriate) or not (inappropriate) …

Background The use of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in the management of coronary
artery disease (CAD) is well established. Although prior studies have shown disparities in …

Background: Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) with PET technology has been shown to
improve ischemia detection compared to SPECT, however limited data are available …
