We indeed did not focus on single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, cardiac CT or cardiac angiography to image the right ventricle, as we primarily focused on methods that do not ...

The current focus of cardiovascular medicine is on early detection and prevention of disease, to control the escalating costs of health care. To achieve this goal, novel imaging approaches that allow ...

GE Healthcare’s Discovery NM630 – for quicker, lower dose imaging – has just been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. This new system for disease detection and diagnosis is a SPECT scan – or ...

CHICAGO – When children present with back pain, physicians want to expose them to the least amount of medical testing without missing a diagnosis. Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia ...

What is single photon emission computed tomography? Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a form of non-invasive nuclear imaging used in order to determine how organs inside the body ...
