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 کاملMyocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging in Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus: A Case Report
Dextrocardia is a cardiac positional anomaly in which the heart is located in the right hemithorax with its base-to-apex axis directed to the right and caudad. Situs inversus is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes organs in the chest and abdomen to be positioned in a mirror image from their normal position. Dextrocardia may occur in isolation or as part of situs inversus. Similarly, sit...
متن کاملRole of FDG-PET/CT in Assessing the Correlation Between Blood Pressure and Myocardial Metabolic Uptake
Objective(s): We aimed to assess the association between blood pressure and LV myocardial uptake of FDG, hypothesizing that subjects with raised blood pressure would have higher FDG uptake. Methods: We analyzed 86 healthy controls who underwent PET/CT imaging 180 minutes following FDG (4 MBq/Kg) administration. LV myocardial analysis was perf...
متن کاملMyocardial CT perfusion imaging for pre- and postoperative evaluation of myocardial ischemia in a patient with myocardial bridging: A case report: Erratum
RATIONALE Although myocardial bridging (MB) is usually considered as benign, initial medical therapy and following surgical treatment in drug-refractory cases has been widely accepted for managing symptomatic MB. Before the patient proceeds to percutaneous or surgical intervention, however, the presence of objective ischemia in the corresponding myocardial territory should be documented. PATI...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Ankle Brachial Index for Myocardial Ischemia in Asymptomatic Diabetic Patients and Comparison with Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Objective: The ankle-brachial index (ABI) as a simple test which can detect peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Therefore in this study we try to evaluate the diagnostic value of ABI for silent myocardial ischemia in diabetic patients and compare the results with myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) results. Materials and Methods: All 149 diabetic patients in this study were categorized according...
