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 ...

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 ...

(HealthDay News) — Computed tomographic (CT) perfusion imaging shows higher overall diagnostic performance than single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) perfusion imaging for the diagnosis ...

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 ...

December 7, 2009 — The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued interim recommendations today to address concerns of excess radiation exposure reported during computed tomography (CT) perfusion ...

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.

Computed tomographic perfusion (CTP) imaging with a 128-dual source scanner offers good diagnostic accuracy at low radiation exposure compared with conventional imaging methods. The results, from a ...

Heart imaging specialists have shown that a combination of CT scans that measure how much blood is flowing through the heart and the amount of plaque in surrounding arteries are just as good as tests ...

TACE has been widely accepted as a choice of treatment for advanced HCC. CT perfusion is a non-invasive and reproducible technique for assessing perfusion changes due to TACE therapy for locally ...
