Abstract
Although the use of planar myocardial perfusion imaging has decreased drastically in the last 10 yr, some patients can be imaged only using the planar technique. These are patients with claustrophobia, patients who are too heavy for the SPECT imaging table, and patients who cannot remain immobile on the imaging table for an extended period of time.
