In a previous comparison of 202 consecutive patients who underwent myocardial perfusion imaging with both 201Tl SPECT and 82Rb PET, 27 patients were identified as having true-positive 82Rb images, but false-negative 201Tl images. The purpose of this report is to determine the effect of correct image interpretation of coronary artery disease on the final management of those patients and compare it to the previous management scheme wherein a negative image was usually accepted as the end point unless clinical symptoms dictated otherwise. A follow-up study of the clinical course and outcome of these studies showed that 63% (17/27) of the patients with a true-positive 82Rb PET image were recommended for revascularization procedures. It is doubtful that this majority of patients would have received either surgical or interventional management based on the false-negative 201Tl SPECT procedure alone.
