Myocardial perfusion imaging in coronary artery disease: SPECT, PET or CMR?

Crown years for non-invasive cardiovascular imaging (Part II): 40 years of nuclear cardiology

“…To summarise, over the past 40 years nuclear cardiology has gained a fixed niche in the domain of non-invasive cardiovascular imaging, particularly as an economic stand-alone technique for assessing myocardial perfusion and metabolism [29–31].…”

Cost analysis favours SPECT over PET and CTA for evaluation of coronary artery disease: the SPARC study

“…A limitation of the SPARC study is the fact that MRI was not included in the comparative strategies. In addition, as the study started in 2006, in recent years many technological revolutions have taken place for all imaging modalities indicating that studies such as SPARC should be repeated and extended every 5–10 years [ 9 ].…”
