In the study, researchers followed 15 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy who were scheduled for radiofrequency ablation for drug-refractory VT. Each patient underwent imaging with 123I-MIBG SPECT ...
Adding functional imaging to structural imaging of patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) has the potential to improve current VT ablation strategies, according to new research. Adding functional ...
Furthermore, ischemia may not necessarily be localized to an entire myocardial area as in patients with epicardial coronary stenosis. Indeed myocardial ischemia may be patchily distributed in small ...
Researchers have completed a successful clinical trial to detect and image radioactive tracers used in PET and in SPECT scans at the same time in a patient. It is hoped the method will enable doctors ...
A new scanner that combines imaging techniques lets doctors get a better look into the bodies of prostate cancer patients. After cancer for prostrate cancer, patients often return for follow-up scans ...
Los Angeles, California…Diabetic patients who show no symptoms may still be at risk for cardiovascular disease, according to information reported at the Society of Nuclear Medicine's (SNM) 49th Annual ...
