OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the diagnosis of myocarditis in patients
presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and normal coronary angiograms. …

Conclusion: Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy improves tumor detection, has major clinical
significance and should be performed systematically for staging and therapeutic decision …

Among the group I patients, 5 had ZES (26%), 4 had carcinoid tumors (21%) and 10 had
other types of endocrine tumors (53%; 1 functioning and 9 nonfunctioning). Among these …

Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) has been shown to reveal sarcoidosis sites. The
aim of this study was to prospectively compare SRS and gallium scintigraphy in the …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of a new somatostatin analog, 99m
Tc-P829, compared with that of 111 In-pentetreotide. Methods: Forty-three patients (32 men…

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an interesting metabolic imaging modality. Its strength
relies mostly on its ability to quantify the measured metabolic signal. Recent developments …

Background Quantification of right ventricular (RV) function is clinically relevant for the risk
stratification and follow-up of patients with a wide spectrum of disease. This can be achieved …

Background—The prognosis of patients with right ventricular (RV) arrhythmias remains
uncertain. This study prospectively evaluated the prognostic value of RV and left ventricular (LV) …

The current major limitation to development of electrocardiographically (ECG) gated blood-pool
SPECT (GBPS) for measurement of the left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) and …

A lack of specificity for myocardial perfusion imaging has been widely reported, mostly related
to false-positive defects on the inferior wall. The application of depth-dependent resolution …
