文摘
BackgroundPerforming both single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients suspected for coronary artery disease (CAD) leads to increased radiation exposure. We evaluated the need for additional imaging and following implications for radiation exposure of a sequential SPECT/computed tomography (CT) algorithm.
