This chapter focuses on image interpretation in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. It covers planar acquisitions, the general approach to reporting single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images, and both qualitative and quantitative evaluation of tomographic slices. Detail is also provided on gated SPECT and attenuation correction, as well as a range of artefacts including image, instrumentation-related, and patient-related artefacts. Information is provided on abnormal appearances in coronary artery disease, perfusion defects, and indirect markers of severe coronary artery disease. The chapter also covers interpretation in left ventricular dysfunction and appearances in non-coronary cardiac disease, and includes a section on writing a useful report.

Conclusión Realizar el análisis fase de análisis por GS-PMI es factible. Sin embargo la DE mostró diferencias significativas entre los dos programas. Aunque los valores mostrados podrían ser utilizados como valores normales, se recomienda que éstos se obtengan y utilicen para cada programa por separado.
