SPECT-MPI has over decades been considered the backbone of diagnosing CAD. Now with Deep Learning added to this already well understood and affordable technology, a new and better method could emerge. This new method uses the installed base of SPECT cameras and if it proves to demonstrate the promise it is claimed to hold, the improvement in imaging will be complemented with a great reduction in the cost of imaging as compared to other imaging technologies. Improving health care and reducing the cost of supplying patient care is what nuclear medicine is all about.
