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 ...

A case report describes mechanical thrombectomy performed 28 hours after stroke onset, guided by CT perfusion showing salvageable tissue, with marked neurologic recovery at discharge.

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 ...

GOTHENBURG, Sweden — Stroke patients selected for thrombectomy using simple noncontrast computed tomography (CT) had a similar rate of good outcomes as those selected by the more sophisticated CT ...

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 ...

A team of researchers led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) radiologists has developed a computed-tomography-based protocol that identifies both narrowing of coronary arteries and areas of ...

A heart perfusion imaging scan, or myocardial perfusion scan, is a test that tells doctors how well a person’s heart pumps blood. Doctors may use this test when diagnosing the cause of chest pain or ...

A heart CT scan uses X-rays to create an image of the heart and blood vessels. Healthcare professionals may also refer to it as cardiac CT angiography. A CT scan is a noninvasive imaging procedure.

A heart computed tomography (CT) scan uses X-rays to create detailed images of your heart. The test can help doctors evaluate the structure and function of the heart and the surrounding blood vessels.
