For patients referred for evaluation of stable angina, a tiered protocol progressing from calcium scans to CT angiography (CTA) to CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) appears to be a viable ...

Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although it can present with an ...

There's nothing new about the scans, the innovations are in how they are combined into a single display that is—or eventually may be—more informative than either scan on its own, observed Dr George A ...

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 ...

BARCELONA -- Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and 82 rubidium positron emission tomography (Rb-PET) performed equally well for perfusion imaging after coronary CT angiography, although with only ...

Researchers have developed a computed-tomography-based protocol that identifies both narrowing of coronary arteries and areas of myocardial ischemia -- restricted blood flow to heart muscle tissue -- ...

Adding stress myocardial CT perfusion imaging to examinations with CT angiography may safely increase diagnostic specificity and reduce the need for invasive treatments in patients with possible ...

Munich, Germany – August 28 2012: A non-invasive imaging strategy which integrates non-invasive CT angiography (CTA) and CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CTP) has robust diagnostic accuracy for ...

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and multislice CT (MSCT) both enable noninvasive imaging of suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). The former detects ischemia, whereas the latter identifies ...
