    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photostress_test

    Photostress recovery time measurement procedure is known as photostress test. Normal recovery time is about 15–30 seconds. [1] The photostress test is a simple, easy and quick clinical technique that can differentiate between retinal and postretinal (e.g.optic nerve) disease. [2]

  3. Cardiac stress test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_stress_test

    A cardiac stress test is a cardiological examination that evaluates the cardiovascular system's response to external stress within a controlled clinical setting. This stress response can be induced through physical exercise (usually a treadmill) or intravenous pharmacological stimulation of heart rate.

    The stress test can result in three outcomes: Pass, Partly Pass and Fail, based on the comparison of the quantified risks to acceptable risk exposure levels and a penalty system. Phase 3: Decision, during which the results of the stress test are analyzed according to the goal and objectives defined in Phase 1. Critical events (events that most ...

    The underlying principle is, under conditions of stress, diseased myocardium receives less blood flow than normal myocardium. MPI is one of several types of cardiac stress test. As a nuclear stress test, the average radiation exposure is 9.4 mSv, which when compared with a typical 2 view chest X-ray (.1 mSv) is equivalent to 94 Chest X-rays. [83]

    The underlying principle is that under conditions of stress, diseased myocardium receives less blood flow than normal myocardium. MPI is one of several types of cardiac stress test . A cardiac specific radiopharmaceutical is administered, e.g., 99m Tc- tetrofosmin (Myoview, GE healthcare), 99m Tc-sestamibi (Cardiolite, Bristol-Myers Squibb) or ...

    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.
