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).
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
"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 ...
Accurate early diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a challenging clinical problem. Imaging myocardial fatty acid metabolism with β-methyl-p-[123 I]-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid ...

PITTSBURGH. (Ivanhoe Newswire)-- If someone has been suffering from sudden, unexplained chest pain, doctors have been known to order a stress test to try to find the cause. As part of that test, ...
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 ...
