Will 3D Imaging of the Heart Replace Pathology

摘要: Radiographic, ultrasound, nuclear, and magnetic resonance methods have become mandatory in the management of coronary artery disease (CAD). The noninvasive imaging is a validated aid establishing new prevention treatment strategies wide range clinical scenarios, ranging from early subclinical diagnosis atherosclerosis asymptomatic individuals to evaluation monitoring stenoses symptomatic patients with recent onset symptoms or known disease. Imaging widely used decision making CAD, not only relation detection ischemia, but also left ventricular systolic diastolic function selection medical, device, revascularization therapy. Large numbers need information guide making. sources this be expeditious, inexpensive, preferably objective quantitative. To aim, number technologies will enhance future accuracy reliability required measures.
