masked ischemia on myocardial perfusion imaging: a case example
discussion the reason is that we assess the relative and not absolute differences of the tracer uptake in this imaging modality. there may be other findings on mpi images which could help us overcome this pitfall, including detecting wall motion abnormalities, lung uptake of the tracer, or transient ischemic dilation. another important issue is the ecg changes during exercise stress testing, wh...
متن کاملSerial Myocardial Imaging after a Single Dose of Thallium-201
Although thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy has been established for the detection of myocardial ischemia and viability, little is known regarding the myocardial thallium-201 kinetics during angioplasty. Herein, we report a 77-year old man with angina pectoris, in whom serial myocardial imaging after a single dose of thallium-201 was helpful in identifying not only the culprit lesion and myocar...
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...
متن کاملNew paradigm for imaging systems.
We describe a new paradigm for designing hybrid imaging systems. These imaging systems use optics with a special aspheric surface to code the image so that the point-spread function or the modulation transfer function has specified characteristics. Signal processing then decodes the detected image. The coding can be done so that the depth of focus can be extended. This allows the manufacturing ...
متن کاملA New Paradigm for Imaging Systems
Today’s imaging systems today frequently have digital components, and some image processing is done in the camera. The potential for dramatically increased perfor mance is not realized, however, until the complete imaging system, including the optics and signal processing, is designed as a coherent whole. In such a system, the optics produces an intermediate image, and the final image is produ...
