Standardized Reporting of Myocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging

Abstract

Myocardial perfusion single photon emission computerized tomography (MPS) report is the final product of a series of complex procedures, starting with patient preparation and ending with interpretation of the process. The report should summarize the patient’s identity, the purpose(s) of the test, all the procedures, drugs and radiopharmaceuticals performed, and the characteristics of the practicing physician and clinic as much as clearly possible. The aim of this guide is to assist nuclear physicians in MPS studies, especially during the reporting phase.The recommendations in this guide were prepared by “Turkey Society of Nuclear Medicine Cardiology Task Group”, to ensure the standardization of our MPS reporting in our country, considering the developments and contribution of the structured reporting into the clinical practice in the light of international studies and current guidelines. © Telif Hakkı 2020 Türkiye Nükleer Tıp Derneği
