Pathological extracardiac uptake of Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) leading to a false impression of reduced wall thickening in a region of apparent hyperperfusion on gated myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (G-SPECT)

A 55-year-old male patient without known coronary risk factors was subjected to gated myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (G-SPECT) imaging in view of baseline ECG changes to rule out inducible ischaemia.
