The Year in Cardiac Imaging

In this sequel to our report last year, we have again attempted to highlight the most important recent literature in single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging, cardiac positron emission tomography (PET), cardiac computerized tomography (CT), and cardiac magn...

Description
Summary:In this sequel to our report last year, we have again attempted to highlight the most important recent literature in single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging, cardiac positron emission tomography (PET), cardiac computerized tomography (CT), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CT Technical advances in CT have been very rapid. Since 1998, a new generation of scanner has been introduced every two years. (21) 14 PCI 6-9 Absolute infarct size (ml) 99mTc tetrofosmin SPECT Mean difference 8 ± 8 ml, p = 0.002 % of LV volume infarcted Mean difference 6 ± 5%, p = 0.001 Table 1 Papers Evaluating MRI Delayed Enhancement in the Setting of Acute MI CK = creatine kinase; EF = ejection fraction; LV = left ventricular; MI = myocardial infarction; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; SPECT = single-photon emission computed tomography; Tl = thallium.
