The effect of body mass index on high versus low administered activity protocol myocardial perfusion imaging scan time and effective dose using a cadmium zinc telluride camera in clinical practice

Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) crystal-based myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) cameras have increased count sensitivity compared to Anger cameras and can be used to lower either the injected activity or the image acquisition time. Institutions adopting CZT cameras need to decide whether to lower the...
