Abstract: Simultaneous imaging ... myocardial flow was imaged using contrast high-resolution ultrasound (linear probe; 13−6 MHz). An ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) was used to highlight the ischemic ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an important imaging modality in the management of patients with cardiovascular disease. MPI plays a key role in diagnosing cardiovascular disease, establishing ...

Non-invasive diagnostic methods are preferred for evaluating patients with SAP 1. Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) is a non-invasive imaging technique with high accuracy for evaluating ischemic ...

Introduction: Splenic switch-off (SSO) describes the reduction in its activity between rest and stress states during positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). SSO might ...

Conclusions: This study is the first to show an association between significant high sMBF and ST segment depression among patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging. Stress HR appears to ...

The 19 scans were divided into five parts: one scan at 7 s after contrast injection; three, six, and four scans with 2-s cycle time, respectively, starting at 11, 17, and 30 s; and five scans with 5-s ...

The abundance of elastin within the myocardial scar makes this ECM protein a promising imaging biomarker for molecular MRI. Elastin is expected to be present in the forming scar tissue in high enough ...

Abstract: We propose a patient-specific (“personalized”) approach for tailoring the injected activities to individual patients in order to achieve dose reduction in SPECT-myocardial perfusion imaging ...
