AB KEY  POINTSA  consistent  and  systematic  approach  for  the  interpretation  of  myocardial  perfusion  imaging  (MPI)  studies  is  necessary.Artifact  recognition  is  critical  for  accurate  single-photon  emission  computerized  tomographic  (SPECT)  and  positron  emission  tomography  (PET)  MPI  studies.Perfusion  defects  should  be  described  in  terms  of  extent,  severity,  and  location.Interpretation  of  SPECT  and  PET  studies  requires  an  understanding  of  the  different  underlying  technologies  and  artifact  differences  between  the  two  modalities.Reporting  of  SPECT  and  PET  imaging  data  must  not  only  be  complete,  but  also  provide  a  clear  and  clinically  useful  conclusion.
