Imaging cardiac fat.
Ectopic fat deposition has been associated with lipotoxicity and derangement in local and systemic metabolism, insulin resistance, cardiac dysfunction, atherosclerosis, local, and systemic inflammation. The mechanisms and potentially detrimental effects of such an accumulation should be fully investigated in order to establish preventive strategies. The aim of this review is to provide an overv...
متن کاملMulti-echo IDEAL Cardiac Water-Fat Imaging
Introduction In cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, separation of water and fat signals is important for improved visualization of enhancing myocardium and pericardial disease, as well as direct visualization of fat in pathologies such as arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), fatty tumors, and fatty infiltration of chronic myocardial infarctions. Fat can appear similar to slow ...
متن کاملQuantification of Epicardial Fat by Cardiac CT Imaging
The aim of this work is to introduce and design image processing methods for the quantitative analysis of epicardial fat by using cardiac CT imaging.Indeed, epicardial fat has recently been shown to correlate with cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic syndrome. However, many concerns still remain about the methods for measuring epicardial fat, its regional distributi...
متن کاملDNA Damages on Blood Cells After Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: Along with the increased use of cardiac imaging at clinics there is increased attention to the potential risks related to the methods used like magnetic resonance (MR) and it cannot be ruled out that MR can alter DNA structure. The aim of this review is to assess the impact of routine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scanning on DNA damages in human T lymphocytes....
متن کاملEnergy window setting for optimum Tl-201 cardiac imaging [Persian]
Introduction: Poor sensitivity and poor signal to noise ratio because of low injected thallium dose and presence of scattered photons are the main problems in using thallium in scintigraphic imaging of the heart. Scattered photons are the main cause of degrading the contrast and resolution in SPECT imaging that result in error in quantification. Thallium decay is ve...
