Hybrid imaging devices including PET/CT and SPECT/CT have seen a great success in
clinical routine, especially in the field of oncology. With the recent advent of PET/MRI …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a standard treatment for patients with heart
failure. However, 30–40% of the patients having CRT do not respond to CRT with improved …

During the last two decades, radionuclide myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) has
become established as the main functional cardiac imaging technique for the assessment of …

Abstract'Multimodality'imaging—the side-by-side interpretation of data obtained from various
noninvasive imaging techniques, such as echocardiography, radionuclide techniques …

Purpose LV mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) is a risk marker in narrow QRS
cardiomyopathy, but its association with treatment outcome is not well defined. We …

Purpose There is still a significant amount of patients who do not sufficiently respond to
cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Previous studies demonstrated that the amount of …

Noninvasive imaging modalities offer the possibility to dynamically evaluate cardiac motion
during the cardiac cycle by means of ECG-gated acquisitions. Such motion characterization …

Objective 82 Rb PET protocols enable determination of left ventricular asynchrony (LVAS) at
rest and stress, along with myocardial blood flow (MBF). We hypothesized that in patients …

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment in patients with
symptomatic drug-refractory heart failure and broad QRS complex on the surface ECG …

Background: Phase analysis is a technique used to assess left ventricular mechanical
dyssynchrony (LVMD) in nuclear myocardial imaging. Previous studies have found an …
