The use of conventional and advanced magnetic resonance techniques in the assessment of primary brain tumours

, 2008
The aim of the work described in this thesis was to investigate the value of conventional, perfusion- and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with histology-proven low-grade gliomas (LGG), and the potential role of these ...

Is There an Age When Myocardial Perfusion Imaging May No Longer Be Prognostically Useful?

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death, and the prevalence of coronary artery disease is expected to increase as the population ages.

Attenuation correction of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy images without transmission scanning

, 2015
Attenuation correction is essential for reliable interpretation of emission tomography; however the use of transmission measurements to generate attenuation maps is limited by availability of equipment and potential mismatches between the transmission ...

Impact of initial myocardial perfusion imaging versus invasive coronary angiography on outcomes in coronary artery disease: a nationwide cohort study.

, 2018
[[abstract]]Purpose In patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), two main options exist to guide management: initial invasive coronary angiography (CAG), or selective CAG after risk stratification using myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).
