Prone Myocardial Perfusion Imaging and Breast Attenuation: A Phantom Study.

CONCLUSION: Prone position has a high impact on the interpretation of MPI in female patients since it reduces the breast attenuation artifacts, and optimizes the radiation protection of the patient and all staff involved in the procedure, making it more cost-effective.
