Reporting nuclear cardiology: a joint position paper by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI).
The report of an imaging procedure is a critical component of an examination, being the final and often the only communication from the interpreting physician to the referring or treating physician. Very limited evidence and few recommendations or guidelines on reporting imaging studies are available; therefore, an European position statement on how to report nuclear cardiology might be useful....
متن کاملEACVI-ASE-industry initiative to standardize deformation imaging: a brief update from the co-chairs.
Echocardiographic quantitation of myocardial deformation has been one of the most significant developments in our field over the last decade, with important applications in basic myocardial mechanics, ischaemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, valvular heart disease, diastolic function, and in detecting pre-clinical myocardial dysfunction such as in cardiotoxicity in cancer chemotherapy and val...
متن کاملSystemic atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability in patients with Coronary Artery Disease with a single Whole Body [FDG]PET-CT scan
Objective(s): Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbimortality with over half cardiovascular events occurring in the asymptomatic population by traditional risk stratification. This preliminary study aimed to evaluate systemic plaque vulnerability in patients with prior Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) with a single Whole Body [FDG] PET-CT scan in terms of plaq...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium (CAC) score – a prognostic tool in coronary artery disease?
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of CAD and a normal perfusion scan. In ...
متن کاملThe diagnostic difference between 18F- FDG PET and 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT perfusion imaging in assessment of Alzheimer's disease
Introduction:Brain imaging with F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography or Tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (99mTc-HMPAO) SPECT is widely used for the evaluation of Alzheimer's dementia (AD); we aim to assess superiority of one method over the other. Methods: Twenty four patients with clinical diagnosi...
