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 ...

August 6, 2009 (Munich, Germany) — Higher coronary artery calcium scores (CAC) and perfusion abnormalities at rest are both independent predictors of severe cardiac events during long-term follow-up ...

A multicenter international study has demonstrated for the first time that diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease can be improved by using deep learning analysis of upright and supine single ...

The ability of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) to stratify risk in octogenarians is poorly defined. The authors identified 439 octogenarians who ...

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 ...

Los Angeles, California…Diabetic patients who show no symptoms may still be at risk for cardiovascular disease, according to information reported at the Society of Nuclear Medicine's (SNM) 49th Annual ...

A novel PET perfusion radiotracer, 18 F-flurpiridaz, can diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD) in obese patients with a higher sensitivity and specificity compared to 99m Tc-SPECT myocardial ...

A novel tracer for positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging, called flurpiridaz F-18, performed well in a second phase III trial when it came to the detection of CAD in patients ...
