Myocardial perfusion imaging by CT has often been compared by researchers (and also in studies of the technique) with nuclear perfusion imaging.

New methods that enhance the quality of myocardial perfusion imaging were developed in a recent study, in which researchers invented a method which makes it possible to reduce the imaging time by ...

The myocardial perfusion study is often used because of its sensitivity to even the most modest changes in blood flow to the heart, determining whether enough blood and oxygen is being received.

Exercise-stress 99m Tc-tetrofosmin/rest 201 Tl myocardial perfusion SPECT images of a 49-year-old man who presented to the ER 2 hours after an episode of chest pain. The rest 201 Tl scan was normal.

PET myocardial perfusion imaging more effective than SPECT scans in detecting coronary disease Date: March 11, 2018 Source: Intermountain Medical Center Summary: Patients who receive cardiac ...

The United States will likely adopt the strategies that other countries have already implemented to reduce radiation exposure related to myocardial perfusion imaging, which accounts for a major ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging is an emerging technique to help triage patients presenting to the emergency room with chest pain and who present with a normal or non-diagnostic electrocardiogram. The ...

Among patients who underwent a stress myocardial perfusion PET scan, increasing magnitude of stress myocardial perfusion abnormality was associated with elevated risk for cardiac death ...

The FDA has approved Flyrcado™ for positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging under rest or stress in adult patients.

Exercise was terminated due to [fatigue/dyspnea/chest pain]. The patient had no complaints during the procedure. Scan findings: The post-stress images demonstrate a small area of decreased perfusion ...
