 Numbers of MPI studies/1000 population/year from the four British Nuclear Cardiology Society surveys.21–23 Response rates for each survey are shown in brackets. Values were calculated using three different assumptions for activity rates in non-responding centres: (1) non-responding centres performed no MPIs (circles); (2) non-responding centres performed the same mean number of MPIs per centre as responding centres (squares); (3) non-responding centres performed the same mean number of MPIs per centre as responding centres which performed MPI (triangles).
