Data regarding cardiac cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT)-specific augmented databases and their impact on CT-based attenuation correction (AC) perfusion scores in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) were obtained on a multiple-pinhole CZT SPECT/CT. Summed stress (SSS) and rest scores (SRS) were measured using automated software in three independent patient groups: group 1 (n = 80) underwent MPI on both CZT and conventional sodium iodide (NaI) devices, group 2 (n = 80) with low coronary artery disease likelihood and normal MPI provided reference CZT databases; and group 3 (n = 152) served to compare AC and non-AC (NAC) scores on CZT. Group 1 CZT and NaI scores gave a significant 1:1 linear correlation for CZT scores referenced to the custom database vs NaI scores referenced to the default database, but these were not concordant when CZT scores were referenced to the default database. AC significantly decreased average SSS and SRS in men vs NAC, 4.29 ± 6.30 vs 5.37 ± 7.26 (P < 0.001) and 2.37 ± 4.72 vs 3.13 ± 5.85 (P < 0.001), but not in women, 2.28 ± 3.42 vs 2.28 ± 3.08 (p NS) and 0.46 ± 1.51 vs 0.61 ± 1.86, (p NS), respectively. Specifically designed databases for solid-state CZT cardiac SPECT provide accurate quantitation of perfusion scores concordant with those previously validated for conventional SPECT. AC and NAC CZT scores differed significantly, especially in men.
