ABSTRACT

After Turkish Society of Nuclear Medicine “Cardiology Group” had first published “Nuclear Cardiology Practice Guidelines” in 2001, in line particular with the technological developments, significant changes both in the hardware, software and also in the protocols have occurred in the era of nuclear cardiology. Besides many new clinical uses in nuclear cardiology and specific developments in both single photon emission computerized tomography and positron emission tomography systems, such as specific cardiac gamma camera systems and blood flow studies, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS), which is still performed today mostly with conventional gamma camera systems, ranks first among both nuclear cardiology and also general conventional nuclear medicine procedures in almost all nuclear medicine clinics. The aim of this guideline is to assist nuclear medicine physicians in MPS studies, in terms of indications, application, imaging methods, evaluation and reporting stages. The recommendations in this guide has been prepared by “Turkish Society of Nuclear Medicine Cardiology Task Group” to ensure the standardization of the MPS applications in our country in the light of international studies and current guidelines.
