Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Nuclear Medicine Summary: Objectives The coronary artery calcium (CAC) score has been shown to predict future cardiac events. However the extent to which the added value of a CAC score to the diagnostic performance of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between CAC score and SPECT in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. Methods A prospective study of the CAC scores by use of the Agatston calcium scoring method and cardiac SPECT diagnostic reports was conducted in 50 patients, who underwent both coronary computed tomography (CT) and SPECT examinations due to suspected coronary artery disease. A Pearson correlation test was used to determine the relation between CAC scores and MPI-SPECT assessments with regard to the evaluation of the extent of disease
