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 ...

An ongoing prospective registry, Study of Myocardial Perfusion and Coronary Anatomy Imaging Roles in CAD (SPARC), may provide some answers, Dorbala et al add.

"The novelty is that this protocol allows for both imaging of coronary artery anatomy/stenosis and myocardial perfusion from one exam," Feuchtner said. "The protocol is commonly known from cardiac ...

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 cardiac perfusion test tells your doctor if the muscles of your heart are getting enough blood. It's also known as myocardial perfusion imaging or a nuclear stress test. Your doctor will put ...

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 ...

Recently, the technique of myocardial-perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has been developed and validated against the use of radioactive microspheres in animal models as a measure ...

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 ...

(HealthDay)—For patients suspected of having hemodynamically significant coronary stenosis, exercise computed tomography (CT) myocardial perfusion imaging is feasible and accurate, according to ...

A new radioactive tracer for positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging will soon be available in the United States, and it’s expected to facilitate substantial growth in such ...
