Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) as an imaging modality plays a key role in the monitoring of patients with cardiovascular disease. MPI enables the assessment of cardiovascular disease, the effectiveness of therapy, and viable myocardial tissue. However, MPI suffers from some downfalls and limitations, which can influence its clinical applications. These limitations can arise from the patient’s condition, equipment, or the actions of the technologist. In this review, we mainly focused on the different effective parameters on radioactivity uptake of organs including liver, intestines, stomach, and gall bladder and how they affect the quality of the acquired images in nuclear medicine. More importantly, we cover how different suggested medicines, foods and exercise alleviative this problem.
