One of the main uses is in myocardial perfusion imaging.

Myocardial perfusion imaging can be abnormal in 30% of patients.

The best known example of a nuclear stress test is myocardial perfusion imaging.

Conclusion Following discussion it was agreed that myocardial perfusion imaging could be accepted in the evaluation of such cases.

Tc sestamibi is used for myocardial perfusion imaging, which shows how well the blood flows through the heart.

Nitrogen-13 is used to tag ammonia molecules for PET myocardial perfusion imaging.

Both adenosine and dipyridamole, which act on the A2A receptor, are used in myocardial perfusion imaging.

The large validated database supporting the use of myocardial perfusion imaging for this application is not available for these alternative techniques.

Myocardial perfusion imaging, a nuclear medicine procedure that illustrates the function of the heart muscle (myocardium)

Additionally echocardiography, myocardial perfusion imaging, and cardiac stress testing is not recommended in those at low risk who do not have symptoms.

In five patients myocardial perfusion imaging studies were performed; in each case there was evidence of infarction with minimal reversible ischaemia.

It produces hyperemia quickly and maintains it for a duration that is useful for radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging.

"Myocardial perfusion imaging for risk stratification of patients on presentation with acute chest pain: cost-effectiveness of two service delivery models." (113Kb)

Along with CT, or computed tomography, researchers also looked at screening with echocardiography, ultrasound, and so-called myocardial perfusion imaging.

Radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (RMPI) is used to assess the effect of coronary artery disease on the heart.

After stress myocardial perfusion imaging (stress MPI), the patient's cardiologist may take some time to study the results of the scan before discussing the findings.

Recently, MCG was compared to myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) scan or nuclear stress testing.

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a form of functional cardiac imaging, used for the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease.

Myocardial perfusion imaging is a standard test to assess coronary artery disease (CAD) with more than 9 million Americans undergoing the test annually.

Using the latter approach, about 30% of initially asymptomatic patients had stress myocardial perfusion imaging in the standard-care arm of the DIAD study."

It is marketed under the brand name Cardiogen-82 (Bracco Diagnostics) in the use of Myocardial perfusion imaging (imaging of the heart).

Medical imaging techniques ranging from CT scans to myocardial perfusion imaging (or imaging of the heart), have become a regular part of medical diagnostics.

Other ligands include sestamibi for myocardial perfusion imaging and mercapto acetyl triglycine for MAG3 scan to measure renal function.

The Company is also advancing its late-stage drug candidate, Stedivaze, a pharmacologic stress agent in Phase III development for use during myocardial perfusion imaging.

Overall, 1,123 diabetic patients without symptomatic or previously diagnosed CAD were randomized to either screening with myocardial perfusion imaging or standard care without screening.
