Imaging Techniques for Cardiac Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac imaging techniques include a variety of distinct applications with which we can visualize cardiac function non-invasively. Through different physical entities such as sound waves, X-rays, magnetic fields, and nuclear energy, along highly sophisticated computer hardware software, it is now possible to reconstruct the dynamic aspect in many forms, from static images high-definition videos real-time three-dimensional projections. In this review, will describe fundamental principles most widely used and, more specifically, modality on what occasion should use them order analyze aspects function.

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...

متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics
Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria. Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...
متن کاملUpdate on cardiac imaging techniques 2013.
Cardiac imaging is a cornerstone of diagnosis in heart conditions, and an essential tool for assessing prognosis and establishing treatment decisions. This year, echocardiography stands out as a guide in interventional procedures and in choosing the size of the prosthesis. It is also proving to be a valuable technique in low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis. Three-dimensional echocardiography...
