Figure 7.2
 Polar map of a normalized stress (upper
panels) and corresponding rest perfusion scan (lower panels) of an obese
male patient with normal coronary arteries. (A) There appears to be a fixed
inferior defect in the images without attenuation correction. (B) After
attenuation correction with a CT (using a hybrid SPECT-CT scanner) perfusion
appears normal, indicating that the inferior defect was due to
attenuation.
