Patients with an intermediate 50% to 70% stenosed coronary lesion found on CT angiography (CTA); CT perfusion may be able to determine whether the lesion needs to be treated. Patients about to undergo ...

Introduction: Recent technical advances in stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging allow for myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification (quantitative perfusion CMR [QP CMR]).

A heart perfusion imaging scan, or myocardial perfusion scan, is a test that tells doctors how well a person’s heart pumps blood. Doctors may use this test when diagnosing the cause of chest pain or ...
