Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing (PET) imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of severe ...

In selected patients, perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more sensitive in detecting ischemic coronary artery disease (CAD) than single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

Lowering the dose: PET images reconstructed with CT-free techniques (left two columns) and with the use of CT images (centre column). The right two columns show difference images between attenuation ...

Durham, NC - The use of contrast-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to detect patients who have had a previous MI picks up many small infarcts that are missed by other methods, a ...

A team of researchers led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) radiologists has developed a computed-tomography-based protocol that identifies both narrowing of coronary arteries and areas of ...
