Image: T1, T2 and T2 myocardial tissue quantification in one solution, on the fly. Based on HeartFreeze Inline Motion Correction (Siemens unique), MyoMaps1 provides pixel-based myocardial quantification. Global, diffuse, myocardial pathologies can be better detected (T1 Map), or better depict cardiac edema (T2 Map) and improve early detection of iron overload (T2 Map) (Photo courtesy of Siemens Healthcare).

New Cardiology Imaging Tools Include MRI Myocardial Tissue Quantification Tool and to Help Fight Cardiovascular Diseases

New imaging tools have been designed for a more precise diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases using computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and molecular imaging, as well as utilizing a universal angiography system with sophisticated features for cardiology.   More...

Image: PET scans highlight the loss of dopamine storage capacity in Parkinson’s disease. In the scan of a disease-free brain, made with [18F]-FDOPA PET (left image), the red and yellow areas show the dopamine concentration in a normal putamen, a part of the mid-brain. Compared with that scan, a similar scan of a Parkinson’s patient (right image) shows a marked dopamine deficiency in the putamen (Photo courtesy of the Feinstein Institute’s Center for Neurosciences).

Identifying Brain Networks Using Metabolic Brain Imaging-Based Mapping Strategy

A new image-based strategy has been used to identify and gauge placebo effects in randomized clinical trials for brain disorders. The researchers employed a network mapping technique to identify specific brain circuits underlying the response to sham surgery in Parkinson’s disease.  More...
