      A minority of studies used a 2-day technetium-99m sestamibi protocol in patients weighing >350 lb to improve image quality. Images were interpreted using a 20-segment scoring system in which 0 = normal tracer activity and 4 = no tracer activity.13 Total scores for the stress and rest images determined the summed stress score and summed rest score, respectively, the difference of which represents the combined size and severity of stress-induced perfusion defects.

      Citation Excerpt :

      Images were acquired with a dual-detector γ-camera (ADAC Vertex, ADAC Laboratories, Milpitas, California; or Siemens e.cam, Siemens Medical Systems, Hoffman Estates, Illinois) with 64 projections for 25 seconds each, covering 180° (elliptical orbit with the ADAC Vertex, body-contoured orbit with Siemens e.cam). SPECT images were interpreted using a semiquantitative 20-segment scoring system in which 0 equals normal tracer activity and 4 equals no tracer activity.5 Total score for the image at rest equals the summed rest score (SRS) and similarly for the stress image's summed stress score (SSS).
