Current Status of Patient Radiation Exposure of Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography and Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomographic Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Abstract

Radiation exposure from cardiac PET MPI in US laboratories applying for Intersocietal Accreditation Commission accreditation is low (111 laboratories, 3.7 mSv) and substantially lower than cardiac SPECT (665 laboratories, 12.8 mSv).
