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

Imaging Techniques for the Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion
Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine, 2016 One of the most significant causes of heart failure is coronary heart disease and subsequent left ventricular dysfunction. The prognosis and perioperative mortality are influenced by left ventricular function, which is also an important predictor marker ...

CD11b+CD43hiLy6Clo splenocyte‐derived macrophages exacerbate liver fibrosis via spleen–liver axis
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 A population of splenic monocytes migrate into the liver and shift to macrophages, which account for the exacerbation of liver fibrosis. Abstract Background and Aims Monocyte‐derived macrophages (MoMFs), a dominant population of hepatic macrophages under inflammation, play a crucial role in liver fibrosis progression.

Myocardial perfusion imaging with PET [PDF]
Imaging in Medicine, 2013 PET-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) allows accurate measurement of myocardial perfusion, absolute myocardial blood flow and function at stress and rest in a single study session performed in approximately 30 min. Various PET tracers are available for MPI, and rubidium-82 or nitrogen-13-ammonia is most commonly used.
