D-SPECT® vs. A-SPECT: 
A comparison between High Speed D-SPECT® and Dual-Detector Anger Camera (A-SPECT) Myocardial Nuclear Imaging for Detection of Coronary Artery Disease

Sponsored by Spectrum Dynamics

This research study will compare the images (pictures of the heart) that are acquired during a nuclear stress test using two different cameras.  The cameras that will be compared are the investigational camera device, called the D-SPECT® camera, and currently available camera devices, called Anger scintillation cameras (A-SPECT) cameras.
