Myocardial perfusion imaging with PET [PDF]
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017 Noninvasive assessment of coronary artery disease remains a challenging task, with a large armamentarium of diagnostic modalities. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is widely used for this purpose whereby cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) is considered the gold standard. Next to relative radiotracer distribution, PET allows for measurement of

The many ways to myocardial perfusion imaging.
The quarterly journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging : official publication of the Italian Association of Nuclear Medicine (AIMN) [and] the International Association of Radiopharmacology (IAR), [and] Section of the Society of..., 2005 Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is important for the management of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease (CAD). Nuclear cardiology is the most widely used noninvasive approach for the assessment of myocardial perfusion. The available single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) flow agents are characterized by a rapid ...

Validation of OSEM algorithm for attenuation correction in cardiac SPECT studies [PDF]
, 2005 Photon attenuation is believed to be one of the major causes of artefacts in cardiac SPECT studies and therefore should be corrected to improve the specificity of cardiac SPECT imaging for the detection of coronary artery disease.

Myocardial Perfusion Imaging with 201Tl [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, 2010 The object of this review is to provide information about (201)Tl-thallous chloride in radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging. This technique has experienced a recent resurgence because of the shortage of (99m)Tc. After reading this article, the technologist will be able to describe the properties and uptake mechanism of (201)Tl, the procedure for ...

MR Myocardial Perfusion Imaging [PDF]
Radiology, 2013 Contrast material-enhanced myocardial perfusion imaging by using cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has, during the past decade, evolved into an accurate technique for diagnosing coronary artery disease, with excellent prognostic value. Advantages such as high spatial resolution; absence of ionizing radiation; and the ease of routine integration ...
