While your heart pumps blood to the rest of your body, a network of arteries known as coronary arteries brings blood to your heart muscle. If these get too narrow, it can be hard for your heart to get ...

To detect in-stent restenosis among patients with coronary stents, a new study shows the potential for improved diagnostic accuracy by adding computed tomography perfusion imaging to coronary CT ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Among patients who underwent a stress myocardial perfusion PET scan, increasing magnitude of stress myocardial ...

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 ...

How Does a VQ Scan Work? The VQ scan is a nuclear scan. It measures airflow, called ventilation, and blood flow, called perfusion, in your lungs. The V and Q make up a math equation that helps doctors ...

A new radioactive tracer for positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging will soon be available in the United States, and it’s expected to facilitate substantial growth in such ...

A case report describes mechanical thrombectomy performed 28 hours after stroke onset, guided by CT perfusion showing salvageable tissue, with marked neurologic recovery at discharge.

Researchers developed an AI model to detect myocardial ischemia and coronary microvascular and vasomotor dysfunction using ...

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.

Despite the long-standing reputation of each, as well as distinct underlying physics, laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) ...
