How Analyze was Used
“SISCOM images were processed on a PC running Windows XP using a commercially available software package (Analyze 8.1…). For the purposes of this study, SPECT and SISCOM results were classified as “negative ” if they showed no significantly localizing or lateralizing areas of hypo- or hyperperfusion based on the official interpretation of the nuclear medicine radiologist.”
