June 17, 2008 (New Orleans, Louisiana) — A new means of performing gated single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion produces data in half the usual acquisition time, with ...

A cardiac hybrid imaging technique that fuses SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with coronary CT angiography (CCTA) scans can help predict major adverse cardiac events in patients suspected of ...

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 ...

Adding functional imaging to structural imaging of patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) has the potential to improve current VT ablation strategies, according to new research. Adding functional ...

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 ...

New heart imaging technology to diagnose coronary heart disease and other heart disorders is significantly more accurate, less expensive and safer than traditional methods, according to a new study by ...

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 ...

Routine follow-up of single-photon emission CT myocardial perfusion imaging was performed infrequently in patients without prior coronary artery disease, whereas the rate was twofold higher in ...
