Diagnostic Effect of Attenuation Correction in Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Different Coronary Arteries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether, and if so how, attenuation correction (AC) improves the diagnostic performance of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in different coronary artery-supplied territories, using coronary angiography as the reference standard. Methods: PubMed and EMBASE were searched until December 2020 for studies evaluating AC MPI for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) with vessel-based data. Methodological quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies tool. For each study, the sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratios and areas under summary receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to determine the diagnostic accuracy of AC compare
