In selected patients, perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more sensitive in detecting ischemic coronary artery disease (CAD) than single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

November 3, 2009 (Houston, Texas) — Coronary artery calcium (CAC) testing with noncontrast computed tomography can provide a long-term estimate of cardiac-event risk to complement the short-term ...

image: Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing (PET) imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of ...

January 8, 2010 (Houston, Texas) — A single-photon emission computed-tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging study of the patient at rest is unnecessary if the results of the patient's "stress ...

"Typically, when a patient presents with chest pain and the [SPECT] test result is normal, we tell them everything looks fine, but this may not be the case," says John Mahmarian, M.D., a cardiologist ...

Patients who receive cardiac positron emission testing (PET) imaging instead of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan experienced a significant increase in the detection of severe ...

Accurate early diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a challenging clinical problem. Imaging myocardial fatty acid metabolism with β-methyl-p-[123 I]-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid ...

The authors recommend adding coronary artery calcium score (CACS) testing in patients with a normal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scan to better identify those at high long-term ...
