Assessment of myocardial perfusion by use of MRI can detect coronary artery disease (CAD) by revealing areas of reduced perfusion, which indicate the presence of arterial stenoses. Compared with 1.5 T ...

A heart perfusion imaging scan, or myocardial perfusion scan, is a test that tells doctors how well a person’s heart pumps blood. Doctors may use this test when diagnosing the cause of chest pain or ...

This screening test measures how well blood flows through your heart. It may be used to diagnose coronary artery disease or to assess damage caused by a heart attack. Share on Pinterest JazzIRT/Getty ...

In cardiac syndrome X (a syndrome characterized by typical angina, abnormal exercise-test results, and normal coronary arteries), conventional investigations have not found that chest pain is due to ...

In patients with stable angina, two strategies are often used to guide revascularization: one involves myocardial-perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the other involves ...

Nuclear cardiac testing is most appropriate in the diagnosis of CAD in patients who have an intermediate likelihood of disease. Low-risk patients may need no additional testing, while high-risk ...

WASHINGTON - (Jan. 4, 2018) - In pregnancies complicated by fetal congenital heart disease (CHD), global placental perfusion was significantly decreased and regional variation of placental perfusion ...

Limitations from commercial software applications prevent the implementation of a robust and cost-efficient high-throughput cancer imaging radiomic feature extraction and perfusion analysis workflow.

SAN FRANCISCO — Japanese investigators quickly and accurately predicted the amount of femoral head perfusion with displaced and nondisplaced femoral head fractures using dynamic MRI positive ...

Quality of life in patients with pure and mixed anaplastic oligodendroglioma treated with dose-intense temozolomide: A phase II multicenter study. Background: This study establishes Perfusion MRI ...

The emerging advantages of positron-emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) for coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis and assessment of cardiovascular event risk has prompted ...
