Iodine-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) SPECT imaging, when combined with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), helped to identify specific subsets of heart tissue more prone to arrhythmia, ...

In selected patients, perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more sensitive in detecting ischemic coronary artery disease (CAD) than single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

A cardiac hybrid imaging technique that fuses SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans can help predict major adverse cardiac events in patients suspected of ...

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada — A cardiac SPECT imaging system performs scans 10 to 100 times faster than current SPECT systems, according to new research presented at the Society of Nuclear ...

June 17, 2008 (New Orleans, Louisiana) — A new means of performing gated single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion produces data in half the usual acquisition time, with ...

Adding functional imaging to structural imaging of patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) has the potential to improve current VT ablation strategies, according to new research. Adding functional ...

The authors recommend adding coronary artery calcium score (CACS) testing in patients with a normal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan to better identify those at high long-term ...

In a randomized trial of three diagnostic strategies for patients with suspected coronary heart disease, the use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging significantly reduced the likelihood of ...

Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing (PET) imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of severe ...

Advancement in molecular medicine continues to expand the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for cardiovascular diseases. Noninvasive cardiovascular imaging is an essential component of this ...
