The document discusses different cardiac imaging modalities for evaluating myocardial perfusion including dobutamine stress echo (DSE), microbubble contrast echo (MCE), gated SPECT studies, cardiac PET, MDCT coronary CTA, cardiac MRI, and EBCT. It provides pros and cons for each modality. Gated SPECT is described as a "one stop shop" that provides evaluation of myocardial viability, ejection fraction, regional wall thickening, and hemodynamic response. Cardiac PET is identified as the gold standard for assessing flow and viability but is costly and requires operator dependence.
