Prevalence and clinical significance of incidental findings on CT attenuation correction for myocardial perfusion imaging

Multiple benefits of added computed tomography for myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with psoriasis

“…Of these, many would be identified on CT for AC. We found this modality helpful in identifying malignancies (and other significant findings) [5]. This would certainly be relevant for some of the cancers in patients with psoriasis, such as lymphomas, lung cancers, and pancreatic cancers.…”

Coronary Atherosclerosis and Malignancies in Diabetic Patients

“…However, it is somewhat unsurprising given that diabetes and the concurrence of haemodynamically significant coronary atherosclerosis were not associated with an increased incidence of malignancies (as shown on the attenuation correction computed tomography images) not known previously in a series of patients assessed with myocardial perfusion scintigraphy [6]. In that series, there were 3,758 patients assessed with myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.…”
