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 ...

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 ...

Introduction: Functional testing by stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and anatomical imaging by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) are often used interchangeably in the initial ...

Left: primary/scatter window SPECT reconstructions, plus synthetic and CT-based attenuation maps. Right: SPECT reconstructed images corrected using CT-based attenuation maps, synthetic attenuation ...

December 11, 2006 — The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a polytetrafluoroethylene-heparin vascular graft for use in the treatment of peripheral artery disease, a myocardial ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 promising new way to diagnose transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM or -CA) has the field waiting in anticipation. Early-phase research suggests that the positron emission tomography ...

Lowering the dose: PET images reconstructed with CT-free techniques (left two columns) and with the use of CT images (centre column). The right two columns show difference images between attenuation ...

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 published in the ...
