Quantitative gated SPECT (QGS)is useful imaging for the myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function. To assess simultaneously myocardial perfusion and left ventricular contractile reserve by ...

Abstract: Myocardial perfusion is commonly studied based on the evaluation of the left ventricular function using stress-rest gated myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography ...

Nuclear cardiology is an evolving specialty that has recently benefited from technological and radiopharmaceutical advances. As a result there has been an increase in the accuracy of myocardial ...

This exciting technique has gained rapid acceptance in routine clinical practice. This technique is similar to a standard SPECT study, except that a number of images (8 or 16) are acquired at each ...

INTRODUCTION: ECG-gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) can evaluate myocardial function by quantifying left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction. The accuracy and precision for these measures ...

A heart perfusion imaging scan, or myocardial perfusion scan, is a test that tells doctors how well a person’s heart pumps blood. Doctors may use this test when diagnosing the cause of chest pain or ...

This screening test measures how well blood flows through your heart. It may be used to diagnose coronary artery disease or to assess damage caused by a heart attack. Share on Pinterest JazzIRT/Getty ...

To evaluate the relevance of stress-induced decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with type-2 diabetes. A total of 684 diabetic patients with available rest and post-stress ...

Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with a multifocal collimator, such as the SMARTZOOM, has been using the same iterative reconstruction with additive update, driven a pre-conditioned ...
