Emergency computed tomography (CT) often does not allow for comprehensive coronary artery assessment. However, CT may reveal pathological myocardial hypoperfusion suggestive of acute myocardial ...

The emerging advantages of positron-emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis and assessment of cardiovascular event risk has prompted ...

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death globally. One of the most common tools used to diagnose and monitor heart disease, myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) by single photon emission ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), especially when combined with computed tomography (CT), plays a pivotal role in assessing patients with suspected coronary artery ...

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 ...

A new approach to PET imaging offers a promising way for physicians to promptly identify patients who are at risk for poor functional recovery after a heart attack, according to new research published ...

A nuclear stress test, also called myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) or a thallium stress test, uses a radioactive tracer to show how blood flows through your heart muscles during exercise and at ...

A new approach to PET imaging offers a promising way for physicians to promptly identify patients who are at risk for poor functional recovery after a heart attack, according to new research published ...

Patients in East Texas now have access to a new, advanced form of heart-imaging technology that physicians say can provide clearer, more accurate evaluations of blood flow to the heart and help detect ...

A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...

First Pediatric Hospital in the United States to Feature Low-Field MRI Technology Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has opened its new Cardiac Imaging Suite, a 6,650-square-foot facility that will ...

Researchers have developed a method that leverages artificial intelligence to ensure accurate heart scans without added radiation or cost. Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death ...
