The results of the previous survey 2021 are shown in squared brackets.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>MPS data from 128.707 [133.057] patients (\u20133.3%) with 125.175 [131.868] stress and 102.903 [106.546] rest MPS were analysed. A comparison with official data revealed that 53% of all MPS were recorded. From 2018 to 2024, official data showed an increase in MPS every year. In 2024, on average, 650 [610] MPS patients (+7%) were examined in each department. Of the participating departments, 69% [74%] reported an increase or no changes in their patient numbers. As always ambulatory care cardiologists represented the major referral group (68% [69%]). Pharmacological stress was performed more frequently than ergometry (43% [42%]). Regadenoson was mostly used. The use of the different protocols remained almost unchanged. Two-day protocols were predominantly applied (49% [49%]). Multi-head cameras were used in (56% [58%] of the departments and SPECT-CT systems in (31% [28%]). Attenuation correction was performed in 35% [33%] of all MPS. 95% [89%] of all stress, 93% [88%] of all rest and 92% [87%] of all stress and rest scan were acquired as gated SPECT. 84% [72%] of the departments performed scoring by default. The proportion of departments not scoring decreased to 4% [13%].<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The MPS 2024 survey indicates that the long-term positive development of MPS imaging is continuing. The procedural and technical details of MPS imaging demonstrate a high level of conformity with guidelines, with a slight improvement observed from 2021 to 2024.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2738-2589","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,25]],"date-time":"2025-11-25T00:12:26Z","timestamp":1764029546000},"page":"30-38","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Myocardial Perfusion SPECT 2024 in Germany: Results of the 10th Survey"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"Oliver","family":"Lindner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Radiology, Nuclearmedicine and Molecular Imaging, Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Gutberlet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Leipzig Heart Centre University Hospital, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Burchert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Radiology, Nuclearmedicine and Molecular Imaging, Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thorsten","family":"Derlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Radiology, Nuclearmedicine and Molecular Imaging, Heart and Diabetes Center North Rhine-Westphalia, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Rischpler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic for Nuclear Medicine, City of Stuttgart Hospitals Katharinenhospital, Stuttgart, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1621023","article-title":"Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy in Germany.
