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 ...

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).

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 ...

New heart imaging technology to diagnose coronary heart disease and other heart disorders is significantly more accurate, less expensive and safer than traditional methods, according to a new study by ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cardiologists and heart imaging specialists at 15 medical centers in eight countries have enrolled the first dozen patients in a year-long investigation to learn whether the subtle squeezing of blood ...

"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 ...
