Cardiac imaging has a pivotal role in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of ischaemic
heart disease. SPECT is most commonly used for clinical myocardial perfusion imaging …

The writing committee consisted of acknowledged experts in the field of CMR, as well as a
liaison from the ACCF Task Force on Clinical ECDs, the oversight group for this document …

We provide anatomic and functional evidence that nicotine induces angiogenesis. We also
show that nicotine accelerates the growth of tumor and atheroma in association with …

Background—Myocardial perfusion reserve can be noninvasively assessed with
cardiovascular MR. In this study, the diagnostic accuracy of this technique for the detection …

Objectives: We tested a pre-defined visual interpretation algorithm that combines
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) data from perfusion and infarction imaging for …

Noninvasive assessment of myocardial perfusion is im-portant in the diagnosis and risk
stratification of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Although …

Quantification of hepatic perfusion parameters greatly contributes to the assessment of liver
function. The purpose of this study was to describe and validate the use of dynamic MRI for …

Recent developments in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the heart have refocused
attention on the potential of MR and continue to attract intense interest within the radiology …

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the prognostic usefulness of visual and
quantitative perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) ischemic burden in an unselected …

Aims Cardiac magnetic resonance perfusion imaging (CMRI) is a promising technique for
