Risk scores in acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention: a review.

abstract：:We previously reported that single-head SPECT imaging with teboroxime is feasible. However, excessive hepatic uptake in some patients may interfere with image interpretation. This study examined the feasibility of improving image quality by use of a preprocessing masking technique to subtract hepatic activity. A band ...
