IMAGING TECHNIQUES: Myocardial perfusion imaging

Filter selection for 99mTc-Sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging [Persian]

Myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging with Tc99m-sestamibi is the most accurate non-invasive means of detecting coronary artery disease and assessing the severity of perfusion abnormalities in the patients with coronary stenosis. Though simple and straight forward the results produced by the technique is very much affected by the details being used. One of the main problems with the test, wh...

Two-day stress-rest lower limbs perfusion scan in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging

Introduction: Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We aimed to perform Lower Limb Perfusion Scan (LLPS) in patients referred for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) and estimate prevalence of PVD in subgroups with normal and abnormal MPI results. We also compared quantitative indices of LLPS in pati...

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 ...
