- Check planar images in cinematic display for movement before starting processing (correct if present). Reconstruct with iterative algorythm.

- Read perfusion slices on the computer screen and in printouts, using color scales or invert black and white.

- Review polar map images and quantification data.

- Describe fix and reversible defects. Assess amount of viable tissues.
