A newly developed cardiac PET imaging technique offers a simpler way to detect significant coronary artery disease—eliminating the need for complex scanning protocols. This innovative approach, which ...

Researchers have identified the optimal tracer kinetic model to quantify 18 F-flutemetamol myocardial uptake in patients with transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis. Presented at the 2023 Society of ...

Karin Rexroad peeks through the bore of the PET-CT scanner at LMH Health. Positron emission tomography, or PET, scans have long been used to diagnose cancer and determine how far it has progressed.

Assessing atherosclerosis severity is essential for precise patient stratification. Specifically, there is a need to identify patients with residual inflammation because these patients remain at high ...

Positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), especially when combined with computed tomography (CT), plays a pivotal role in assessing patients with suspected coronary artery ...

Niagara Falls, NY, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Positron Corporation (“Positron” or the “Company”) (OTC: POSC), a leading molecular imaging medical device company offering PET and PET-CT ...
