A SPECT MPI Appropriateness Criteria decision support application was released to help guide clinicians in the ordering of SPECT MPI. The tool is designed to help avoid time-consuming pre-certification for inappropriate patient indications and to help more easily calculate patient cardiovascular risk or pre-test probability. The decision support tool is based on the 2005 ACC/ASNC Appropriateness Criteria and was developed in partnership with Skyscape. The application contains three quick and easy tools to help guide test ordering.

• Symptomatic Patient -- Pre-Test Probability Appropriateness Calculator
• Asymptomatic Patient -- Framingham Risk Appropriateness Calculator
• Perioperative patients, patients with prior imaging test results, patients with known CAD, post revascularization patients – Appropriateness Algorithm

ACC members are encouraged to use this application in their own practice and raise awareness among their referral base of this important tool. You can download this application at :
