The influence of misregistration between CT and SPECT images on the accuracy of CT-based attenuation correction of cardiac SPECT/CT imaging: Phantom and clinical studies
Introduction: Integration of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and computed tomography (CT) scanners into SPECT/CT hybrid systems permit detection of coronary artery disease in myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Misregistration between CT and emission data can produce some errors in uptake value of SPECT images. The aim of this study was evaluate the influence...
متن کاملCardiac and Hepatic T2*-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract Background Iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. Severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. Many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of Iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. Magne...
متن کاملImaging for Infected Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), having been shown capable of improving the quality as well as duration of life, are playing an increasingly important role in the management of patients with disorders of heart rhythm and/or function. Over the last decade there has been a remarkable increase in CIED utilization; in the United States alone 235,567 new and 101,042 replacement pacema...
متن کاملA Perspective on Cardiac CT Imaging Technique
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Cardiovascular imaging technique is a key for cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment. In coronary imaging, the cardiac CT is of high spatial and temporal resolution. Compared with other medical imaging modality, the cardiac CT has a unique advantage in coronary stenosis detection, plaque assessment and st...
متن کاملMultidetector CT and MR Imaging of Cardiac Tumors
The purpose of this article is to provide a current review of the spectrum of multidetector CT (MDCT) and MRI findings for a variety of cardiac neoplasms. In the diagnosis of cardiac tumors, the use of MDCT and MRI can help differentiate benign from malignant masses. Especially, the use of MDCT is advantageous in providing anatomical information and MRI is useful for tissue characterization of ...
