Can Stress-induced Phase Change be Observed on ^99mTc Pharmacological Stress Myocardial Perfusion Imaging?

Abstract

Background: Phase analysis of left ventricular contraction has incremental value for facilitating the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease using electrocardiography-gated myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). However, it is unclear whether phase analysis aids the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease using technetium-99m (
