Among patients who underwent a stress myocardial perfusion PET scan, increasing magnitude of stress myocardial perfusion abnormality was associated with elevated risk for cardiac death, researchers ...

Use of 3-D whole heart myocardial perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accurately predicts the presence of ischemia-producing stenosis as measured by fractional flow reserve (FFR). The ...

New methods that enhance the quality of myocardial perfusion imaging were developed in a recent study completed at the University of Eastern Finland. In her PhD study, Tuija Kangasmaa, Lic. Phil., ...

A reduction by half in the radiation dose to which cardiac patients are exposed during diagnostic perfusion imaging is now "feasible", according to an Israeli study. Results from the study will be ...

Advances in cardiovascular imaging have resulted in the development of multiple noninvasive techniques to evaluate myocardial perfusion and coronary anatomy, each of which has unique strengths and ...

This exciting technique has gained rapid acceptance in routine clinical practice. This technique is similar to a standard SPECT study, except that a number of images (8 or 16) are acquired at each ...

In patients with stable angina, two strategies are often used to guide revascularization: one involves myocardial-perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the other involves ...

For the stress test, you will be asked to walk on an exercise treadmill for a few minutes to elevate your heart rate, which will allow the cardiologist to evaluate your heart at its peak activity.

To detect in-stent restenosis among patients with coronary stents, a new study shows the potential for improved diagnostic accuracy by adding computed tomography perfusion imaging to coronary CT ...

Positron is committed to expanding the cardiac and oncology PET modality by delivering the best technology and value to imaging specialists and will continue to advance its technology through its ...

A reduction by half in the radiation dose to which cardiac patients are exposed during diagnostic perfusion imaging is now "feasible," according to a new study. A reduction by half in the radiation ...
