To detect in-stent restenosis among patients with coronary stents, a new study shows the potential for improved diagnostic accuracy by adding computed tomography perfusion imaging to coronary CT ...

MUNICH, Germany—A noninvasive strategy that integrates computed tomography (CT) angiography with CT myocardial perfusion imaging shows strong diagnostic accuracy in identifying patients who have ...

Adding stress myocardial CT perfusion imaging to examinations with CT angiography may safely increase diagnostic specificity and reduce the need for invasive treatments in patients with possible ...

Recent advances in scanner technology have made the use of CT stress myocardial perfusion imaging feasible. Just how well it matches up to MR perfusion in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD ...

Stroke is a serious life-threatening medical condition that happens when blood supply to a part of the brain is severely compromised. More than 100,000 strokes happen in the UK every year. The average ...
