Diagnostic accuracy of β-methyl-p-[123I]-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) imaging: A meta-analysis

Imaging with BMIPP at rest exhibits a moderate sensitivity and high specificity to detect CAD in patients with a high prevalence of CAD. Thus, this tracer may be of great value for patients with acute chest pain and those with relative contraindications to exercise or pharmacologic stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).
