N2 - MPI with half-time acquisition or with half radiation dose is feasible with preserved image quality. Considering the two possibilities, this sort of study can be tailored to meet special patient requirements. For example, for elderly sick patients, half-time imaging is preferable, while in young people with suspicion of CAD, imaging with radiation dose reduction will be more appropriate. Accordingly, it is encouraged to incorporate these techniques in daily practice of MPI studies to facilitate imaging for the patient and to reduce radiation exposure to very low levels.
