CT myocardial perfusion imaging
Computed tomography (CT) is capable of comprehensively assessing the heart in order to provide information on anatomy, function, perfusion and viability. CT coronary angiography can assess both the coronary artery lumen and the characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques. CT myocardial perfusion imaging can provide additional information compared to CT coronary angiography by highlighting areas ...
متن کاملDynamic myocardial perfusion imaging by dual-source computed tomography.
We report a dual-source computed tomography study of dynamic and quantitative myocardial perfusion in a 44-year-old patient with previous documented coronary artery disease. Quantitatively, the tomography showed myocardial perfusion deficit in the territories with significant coronary stenosis, confirmed by computed tomography angiography and conventional angiography. Dual-source computed tomog...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Dual-Energy Myocardial Perfusion Imaging for the Detection of Acute Myocardial Infarction by Using the Second Generation Dual-Source CT in a Porcine Model
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has been shown a non-invasive tool with high diagnostic accuracy for the detection of coronary arterial stenosis [1]. However, the hemodynamic significance of many lesions is uncertain by Cardiac CT. Furthermore, the presence of calcified atherosclerotic plaque reduces the ability to differentiate significant stenosis from non-obstructive plaque. Thus, invasive ...
متن کاملIncremental value of adenosine-induced stress myocardial perfusion imaging with dual-source CT at cardiac CT angiography.
PURPOSE First, to assess the feasibility of a protocol involving stress-induced perfusion evaluated at computed tomography (CT) combined with cardiac CT angiography in a single examination and second, to assess the incremental value of perfusion imaging over cardiac CT angiography in a dual-source technique for the detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in a high-risk population...
متن کاملFilter selection for 99mTc-Sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging [Persian]
Myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging with Tc99m-sestamibi is the most accurate non-invasive means of detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of perfusion abnormalities in the patients with coronary stenosis. Though simple and straight forward the results produced by the technique is very much affected by the details being used. One of the main problems with the test, wh...
