In clinical practice, regional myocardial perfusion is often measured with a gamma camera and quantified via circumferential profile analysis. Normal reference profile data is used to increase the accuracy of the clinical interpretations. Our goal is to create reference data from an existing set of archived studies. An iterative mathematical method, based on two statistical hypotheses, was used to generate the study set instead of collecting normal examinations from a healthy population. Clinical validation is based on interpretations by six independent observers. Results of evaluation with synthesized normal data and its validation are presented.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ScopusID: 0038657861doi: 10.1109/TMI.2002.806429</style></notes></record></records></xml>
