Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a relatively new imaging technique that
was introduced to overcome limitations of previous imaging modalities. OCT
provides high resolution cross-sectional images of the coronaries which permit
detailed evaluation of the luminal morphology and assessment of coronary artery
pathology. These unique qualities render OCT a useful tool in clinical practice
and rese... hiện toàn bộ
Advances in Molecular Imaging: Cardiac RegenerationCurrent Cardiovascular Imaging Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 354-357 - 2013

In addition to the standard cardiovascular pharmacological treatment and
catheter-based and surgical procedures, cardiac restorative therapy was recently
introduced. Despite the encouraging results obtained in pre-clinical research,
cardiac regenerative therapy is still not used in clinical practice, because of
the modest effect on cardiac function. To improve cardiac regenerative
strategies, the ... hiện toàn bộ
Coronary Artery Calcium Analysis and Reporting on Noncontrast Chest CT Scans: a Paradigm Shift in PreventionCurrent Cardiovascular Imaging Reports - Tập 9 - Trang 1-10 - 2016
Harvey S. Hecht
The quantification of coronary artery calcium (CAC) on gated noncontrast cardiac
CT, as a screening test for subclinical coronary artery disease, has been
consistently proven to be superior to risk factors and biomarkers for the
prediction of long-term cardiovascular risk. Coronary artery calcium is also
readily evaluable in every noncontrast (nongated) chest CT scan, yet there are
no recommendati... hiện toàn bộ
Radionuclide Imaging in Chagas CardiomyopathyCurrent Cardiovascular Imaging Reports - Tập 12 - Trang 1-8 - 2019

To review the contributions of radionuclide imaging to understanding the
manifestations and pathophysiology of chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC).
Experimental studies using high-resolution SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging
(MPI) show that myocardial perfusion derangement that corresponds to
dysfunctional, viable myocardium is closely linked to inflammation and precedes
LV regional systolic dysf... hiện toàn bộ
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Recent Advances and New Insights in Cardiovascular DiseaseCurrent Cardiovascular Imaging Reports - - 2012
Eduardo Pozo, Javier Sanz
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly employed as a diagnostic test
in the evaluation of cardiovascular disease. This article provides an update on
recent developments in diagnostic and prognostic applications of CMR in clinical
practice. Specifically, advances in the evaluation of myocardial diseases of
both ischemic and nonischemic etiology are emphasized. New data on less frequent

New Imaging Protocols for New Single Photon Emission CT TechnologiesCurrent Cardiovascular Imaging Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 162-170 - 2010
Piotr J. Slomka, Daniel S. Berman, Guido Germano
Nuclear cardiology practitioners have several new technologies available with
which to perform myocardial perfusion single photon emission CT (MPS). These
include dedicated small-footprint cardiac scanners, new stationary or
semi-stationary three-dimensional detectors, and advanced software algorithms
for optimal image reconstruction. These new technologies have been employed to
reduce imaging tim... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular Imaging to Monitor Left Ventricular Remodeling in Heart FailureCurrent Cardiovascular Imaging Reports - Tập 12 - Trang 1-13 - 2019
Elias Ylä-Herttuala, Antti Saraste, Juhani Knuuti, Timo Liimatainen, Seppo Ylä-Herttuala
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Many complex
cellular and molecular pathways lead to myocardial remodeling after ischemic
insults. Anatomy, function, and viability of the myocardium can be assessed by
modern medical imaging techniques by both visualizing and quantifying damages.
Novel imaging techniques aim for a precise and accurate visualization of the
myocardi... hiện toàn bộ
Myocardial Fat ImagingCurrent Cardiovascular Imaging Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 83-91 - 2010
Peter Kellman, Diego Hernando, Andrew E. Arai
The presence of intramyocardial fat may form a substrate for arrhythmias, and
fibrofatty infiltration of the myocardium has been shown to be associated with
sudden death. Therefore, noninvasive detection could have high prognostic value.
Fat-water–separated imaging in the heart by MRI is a sensitive means of
detecting intramyocardial fat and characterizing fibrofatty infiltration. It is
also usefu... hiện toàn bộ
Hand-carried cardiac ultrasoundCurrent Cardiovascular Imaging Reports - Tập 1 - Trang 66-71 - 2009
Kirk T. Spencer
Advances in cardiac ultrasound have included the development of larger, more
powerful platforms with advanced imaging features and quantitative analysis
packages. However, a parallel yet polar opposite development has also occurred:
the introduction of smaller, less powerful platforms with limited imaging
capabilities has sparked a new genre of cardiac imaging. Several terms are used
to describe t... hiện toàn bộ
