  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. 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.

  4. Technetium (99mTc) sestamibi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium_(99mTc)_sestamibi

    Technetium (99m Tc) sestamibi (commonly sestamibi; USP: technetium Tc 99m sestamibi; trade name Cardiolite) is a pharmaceutical agent used in nuclear medicine imaging. The drug is a coordination complex consisting of the radioisotope technetium-99m bound to six (sesta=6) methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) ligands. The anion is not defined.

  5. Radionuclide angiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radionuclide_angiography

    Radionuclide angiography is an area of nuclear medicine which specialises in imaging to show the functionality of the right and left ventricles of the heart, thus allowing informed diagnostic intervention in heart failure.

  6. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging perfusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_magnetic_resonance...

    Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging perfusion (cardiac MRI perfusion, CMRI perfusion), also known as stress CMR perfusion, [1] is a clinical magnetic resonance imaging test performed on patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease to determine if there are perfusion defects in the myocardium of the left ventricle that are caused by narrowing of one or more of the coronary arteries.

  7. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_myocardial...

    In stable patients whose symptoms have resolved by the time of evaluation, Technetium (99mTc) sestamibi (i.e. a "MIBI scan"), thallium-201 chloride or Rubidium-82 Chloride can be used in nuclear medicine to visualize areas of reduced blood flow in conjunction with physiologic or pharmacologic stress. [3] [4] Thallium may also be used to ...

    For the 2024-25 school year, all Milwaukee Public Schools will be on the same calendar with a start date of Sept. 3, 2024. Milwaukee School Board members voted for the change at a meeting Thursday ...

  9. Sestamibi parathyroid scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sestamibi_parathyroid_scan

    By using a gamma camera in nuclear medicine, the radiologist is able to determine if one of the four parathyroid glands is hyperfunctioning, if that is the cause of the hyperparathyroidism. Theoretically, the hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland will take up more of the Tc99m-sestamibi, and will show up 'brighter' than the other normal ...
