Epicardial fat and coronary artery disease: An open debate
stress-only MPI SPECT (≈3 mSv), rest-stress MPI PET Rubidium-82 (≈3 mSv), and rest-stress MPI PET 13N (≈2 mSv) are represented in the recent consensus document (3). In addition, as defined by the authors, novel SPECT camera technology may allow us to reduce radiation doses with SPECT imaging (5). Stress-only MPI use may be encouraged whenever possible to reduce radiation exposure. Finally, in f...
