Does myocardial thallium-201 SPECT combined with electron beam computed tomography improve the detectability of coronary artery disease? —Comparative study of diagnostic accuracy—

Abstract

Although the sensitivity of EBT for detecting LAD lesion in patients over 70 yr of age was significantly higher than that of myocardial 201Tl SPECT, in the detectability of CAD, combined use of myocardial 201Tl SPECT and EBT offers no improvement.
