2. Myocardial perfusion imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_perfusion_imaging

   Myocardial perfusion imaging or scanning (also referred to as MPI or MPS) is a nuclear medicine procedure that illustrates the function of the heart muscle (). [1]It evaluates many heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), [2] hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart wall motion abnormalities.

3. Angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiography

   Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins, and the heart chambers. Modern angiography is performed by injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent into the blood vessel and imaging using X-ray based ...

4. Cardiac imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_imaging

   A physician may recommend cardiac imaging to support a diagnosis of a heart condition. Medical specialty professional organizations discourage the use of routine cardiac imaging during pre-operative assessment for patients about to undergo low or mid-risk non-cardiac surgery because the procedure carries risks and is unlikely to result in the change of a patient's management. [1]

5. Coronary CT angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_CT_angiography

   Coronary CT angiography (CTA or CCTA) is the use of computed tomography (CT) angiography to assess the coronary arteries of the heart.The patient receives an intravenous injection of radiocontrast and then the heart is scanned using a high speed CT scanner, allowing physicians to assess the extent of occlusion in the coronary arteries, usually in order to diagnose coronary artery disease.

6. Coronary catheterization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_catheterization

   A coronary catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure to access the coronary circulation and blood filled chambers of the heart using a catheter. It is performed for both diagnostic and interventional (treatment) purposes. Coronary catheterization is one of the several cardiology diagnostic tests and procedures.

7. Coronary occlusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_occlusion

   A new heart disease diagnosis approach has lead to a 99.1% accuracy in diagnosing heart disease. [18] This new diagnosis approach uses CT-scan imagery to focus on coronary artery diseases and blockages in contrast to angiography. [18] Further research directions in preventing and treating coronary artery disease include: [19]

8. Computed tomography angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Computed_tomography_angiography

   Computed tomography angiography (also called CT angiography or CTA) is a computed tomography technique used for angiography—the visualization of arteries and veins—throughout the human body. Using contrast injected into the blood vessels, images are created to look for blockages, aneurysms (dilations of walls), dissections (tearing of walls ...

9. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_coronary...

   ECG, Angiography, Intracoronary optical coherence tomography, Intravascular ultrasound, Coronary CT angiography Spontaneous coronary artery dissection ( SCAD ) is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition in which one of the coronary arteries that supply the heart, spontaneously develops a blood collection, or hematoma , within the artery ...
