New methods that enhance the quality of myocardial perfusion imaging were developed in a recent study, in which researchers invented a method which makes it possible to reduce the imaging time by up ...

Ischemia-guided revascularization using myocardial perfusion along with SPECT imaging substantially lowers the risk of major adverse events in patients with multivessel coronary disease. The ...

Schuijf et al performed both MSCT (using either a 16- or 64-slice scanner) and MPI using gated single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) in 114 patients, most of whom had an intermediate ...

The time to initiate intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke is generally limited to within 4.5 hours after the onset of symptoms. Some trials have suggested that the treatment window may ...
