Decreases in apical and apex activities - namely, 'apical thinning' - are a well-known phenomenon in attenuation-corrected (AC) myocardial perfusion. The aim of this study was to compare actual myocardial thickness derived from a multidetector-row computed tomography with AC myocardial perfusion count from a hybrid single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography to investigate the cause of apical thinning.
