Abstract
Is there an ideal myocardial perfusion imaging protocol? In order to answer this question and choose a protocol for clinical use, one must understand the characteristics of the available radiopharmaceuticals, the protocol variables, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. After reading this article, the technologist should be able to list the ideal characteristics of a myocardial perfusion imaging agent, describe and compare the characteristics of myocardial perfusion imaging agents, discuss the relationship between coronary blood flow and myocardial uptake of various tracers, describe imaging protocols, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each protocol.
