Abstract
Both MPI and SE seem to be declining in use in recent years. This is likely due to unfavorable reimbursement trends caused by code bundling and resulting in the closure of many private cardiology offices. CCTA use is far lower than the two other types of imaging and has also declined in recent years. This is puzzling, as it is a new and promising procedure that has some advantages over MPI and SE. In 2013, 58 times as many MPI studies as CCTA studies were performed.
