We are all interested in heart health and recognize factors such as eating right, exercising, quitting smoking, and weight management as fundamental elements of preserving our cardiovascular health.

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 ...

The complexity of CT perfusion (CTP) acquisition protocols may limit the availability of target mismatch assessment at resource-limited hospitals. We compared CTP mismatch with a mismatch surrogate ...

Background: Cardiac syndrome X is defined by a typical angina pectoris with normal or near normal (stenosis <40%) coronary angiogram with or without electrocardiogram (ECG) change or atypical angina ...

WASHINGTON, DC—A noninvasive approach to guiding initial management decisions in patients with stable angina that employs stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion imaging provides ...

To evaluate the role of conventional contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) imaging and dual-energy spectral CT (DECT) perfusion imaging in differentiating the WHO histological subtypes of thymic epithelial ...

Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine recently performed a cardiac imaging procedure that was the first of its kind completed in Georgia. The procedure, first performed on October 21, is ...

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.

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 ...
