Measurement of blood flow in myocardial layers: A step toward comprehensive physiological evaluation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Nuclear Cardiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s12350-018-01533-7
Abstract: Widely used single-photon emission computed tomography-myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECTMPI) lacks spatial resolution to identify myocardial layers as well as the ability to measure absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF). The pitfalls of relative MPI using SPECT… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12350-019-01684-1
Abstract: Objective Positron emission tomography (PET) integrating assessment of perfusion with 13 N-ammonia (NH3) and viability with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has high accuracy to identify viable, hibernating myocardium. We tested whether quantification of myocardial blood flow… read more here.
