Attenuation correction reveals gender-related differences in the normal values of transient ischemic dilation index in rest-exercise stress sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging

TID normal values for rest/exercise-stress Tc-99m sestamibi MPI are gender-dependent and not affected by AC processing. Thus, diagnosticians should take into account these gender-related differences, as compared with the traditional value generated from mostly male populations, to ensure both men and women have the same overall accuracy of using the TID index in the diagnosis and prognosis of CAD.
