Translation of Methdology used in Human Myocardial Imaging to a Sheep Model of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: Pre-clinical investigation of stem cells for repairing damaged myocardium predominantly used rodents, however large animals have cardiac circulation closely resembling the human heart. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) could be used for assessing sheep myocardium following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and response to int...
متن کاملNew Trends in Radionuclide Myocardial Perfusion Imaging.
UNLABELLED Radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been widely used clinically as one of the major functional imaging modalities for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) for decades. Ample evidence has supported the use of MPI as a useful and important tool in the diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment planning for...
متن کاملRADIONUCLIDE GUIDELINES Procedure guidelines for radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging

The images are acquired ...
متن کاملA new method for radionuclide imaging of acute myocardial infarction in humans.
A new method of visualizing acute myocardial infarction in humans following intravenous injection of 15 mCi-5 mg of 99mTc stannous pyrophosphate in 23 patients is reported. Fifteen patients had histories suggestive of acute myocardial infarction and subsequently developed electrocardiogram and enzyme changes that confirmed the clinical diagnosis. Eleven of the 15 patients were scanned 3-5 days ...
متن کاملProcedure guidelines for radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging.
Radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an established and non-invasive imaging technique with diagnostic and prognostic efficacy in the investigation of coronary artery disease. It is the only widely available test for assessing myocardial perfusion directly but there are variations in the way it is performed in different centres. Harmonization of practice, at least at a national le...
