Nuclear medicine technologists are able to accurately determine when a myocardial perfusion rest study is necessary
BACKGROUND: In myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS), typically a stress and a rest study is performed. If the stress study is considered normal, there is no need for a subsequent rest study. The aim of the study was to determine whether nuclear medicine technologists are able to assess the necess...
