Background. Transient arrhythmias can affect transient ischemic dilation (TID) ratios. This study was initiated to evaluate the frequency and effect of normal heart rate change on TID measures in ...

Objective: To assess the clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) for the diagnosis and management of patients with suspected and diagnosed coronary ...

This article, the third in a five-part series on nuclear medicine imaging techniques, explains how myocardial perfusion imaging works and what precautions are required when it is used Nuclear medicine ...

In a randomized trial of three diagnostic strategies for patients with suspected coronary heart disease, the use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging significantly reduced the likelihood of ...

BARCELONA -- Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and 82 rubidium positron emission tomography (Rb-PET) performed equally well for perfusion imaging after coronary CT angiography, although with only ...

Accordingly the purpose of this study was to evaluate which risk factor is the strongest effector of MPR in subjects without regional myocardial ischemia. Pharmacological stress was performed by ...

Nuclear medicine provides imaging modalities that can be used to observe physiological processes in the human body, particularly in the bones, heart, lungs, renal system and brain.

TCT 72: Computational Fractional Flow Reserve Derived From Three-Dimensional Intravascular Ultrasound: A New Algorithm of Fusion Between Anatomy and Physiology Receive the the latest news, research, ...

The authors of the article seem to be under the impression that multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has completely taken over from ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy in diagnosing acute pulmonary ...

The study cohort consisted of 407 patients, of whom 169 (42%) had normal perfusion and systolic function (Group 1) with the remaining 238 (58%) having abnormal perfusion and/or systolic function ...
