Myocardial fibrosis is the heart's common healing response to injury. While initially seeking
to optimize the strength of diseased tissue, fibrosis can become maladaptive, producing stiff …

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the primary causes of death worldwide, with a
high incidence and mortality rate. Assessment of the infarcted and surviving myocardium …

Multimodal molecular imaging has revolutionized both clinical practice and biomedical
research. PET/CT performed using the positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer 18F …

BACKGROUND Secondary cardiac involvement by lymphoma has received limited attention
in the medical literature, despite its grave prognosis. Although chemotherapy improves …

Combined PET/MR imaging is an emerging hardware solution that integrates the
advantages of high soft tissue contrast and exquisite anatomic characterization of MR …

Primary heart tumors are rare, benign tumors represent the majority of these. If a cardiac
mass is found, the probability that it is a metastasis or a so-called “pseudo-mass” is …

Positron emission tomography (PET) has been used to noninvasively evaluate myocardial
perfusion and metabolism. For clinical assessments of myocardial perfusion, the quantitative …

Intracardiac masses are classified as neoplastic or non-neoplastic. Prognosis varies based
on the diagnosis of the mass since treatment options differ greatly. As novel imaging …

It is common for a cardiac mass to be discovered accidentally during an echocardiographic
examination. Following the relief of a cardiac mass, being able to evaluate and characterize …

In this paper, the authors review the field of motion detection and correction in nuclear
cardiology with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron …
