Table 3 Mean values of left ventricular parameters, and the percent differences between MPS and MR imaging, for the subgroup analysis of 12 patients undergoing reconstruction using both iterative and filtered back-projection (FBP) reconstruction.

From: Gated myocardial perfusion SPECT underestimates left ventricular volumes and shows high variability compared to cardiac magnetic resonance imaging -- a comparison of four different commercial automated software packages
