2. Cardiac PET - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_PET

   Cardiac PET (or cardiac positron emission tomography) is a form of diagnostic imaging in which the presence of heart disease is evaluated using a PET scanner. Intravenous injection of a radiotracer is performed as part of the scan. Commonly used radiotracers are Rubidium-82, Nitrogen-13 ammonia and Oxygen-15 water. [1]

3. Positron emission tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron_emission_tomography

   Positron emission tomography (PET) [1] is a functional imaging technique that uses radioactive substances known as radiotracers to visualize and measure changes in metabolic processes, and in other physiological activities including blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption.

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.

6. Coronary occlusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_occlusion

   A new heart disease diagnosis approach has led 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]

7. Gated SPECT - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gated_SPECT

   Gated SPECT is a nuclear medicine imaging technique, typically for the heart in myocardial perfusion imagery. [1] An electrocardiogram (ECG) guides the image acquisition, and the resulting set of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images shows the heart as it contracts over the interval from one R wave to the next.
