November 3, 2009 (Houston, Texas) — Coronary artery calcium (CAC) testing with noncontrast computed tomography can provide a long-term estimate of cardiac-event risk to complement the short-term ...
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).
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 ...
The authors recommend adding coronary artery calcium score (CACS) testing in patients with a normal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan to better identify those at high long-term ...
January 8, 2010 (Houston, Texas) — A single-photon emission computed-tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging study of the patient at rest is unnecessary if the results of the patient's "stress ...
Left: primary/scatter window SPECT reconstructions, plus synthetic and CT-based attenuation maps. Right: SPECT reconstructed images corrected using CT-based attenuation maps, synthetic attenuation ...
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 ...
Cardiologists and heart imaging specialists at 15 medical centers in eight countries have enrolled the first dozen patients in a year-long investigation to learn whether the subtle squeezing of blood ...
"Typically, when a patient presents with chest pain and the [SPECT] test result is normal, we tell them everything looks fine, but this may not be the case," says John Mahmarian, M.D., a cardiologist ...
