Abstract: Simultaneous imaging of myocardial flow and hypoxia could be vital for identifying ... We observed distinct borders between two perfusion beds. UCA images showed high contrast borders of ...

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 ...

377-2 Ohno-Higashi, Osakasayama 589-8511, Japan; smiyazak{at}med.kindai.ac.jp Objective To assess the feasibility of quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI ...

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 ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to form PET image reconstruction sparse priors based on MR image learned dictionaries in Bayesian PET image reconstruction and to evaluate the performance in ...

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 ...

Owing to chronic cerebral ischemia, ICAD patients often exhibit better collateral circulation than those with embolic stroke, a distinction that may be revealed through computed tomography perfusion ...
