Popis: We compared technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) myocardial perfusion single-photon emission tomography (SPET) (MPS) and electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) in order to assess their respective value in the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD).99mTc-MIBI SPET (stress-resting) and EBCT studies were performed in 51 patients with suspected CAD who underwent coronary angiography (CAG). CAG showed that of the 51 patients, 36 had coronary stenosis ≥50% while 15 had normal results. A moderate positive rank correlation was found between coronary calcification detected by EBCT and MPS score (rs=0.5283,P
