Attenuation artifacts of tomographic myocardial perfusion imaging may decrease the diagnostic accuracy of the technique, predominantly due to:

What does Cardiomegaly mean?

Myocardial ischemia could be distinguished from myocardial infarction by analysis of PET images of the perfusion tracer N-13-labeled ammonia and the glucose analogue FDG. Region with “flow-metabolism mismatch” – decreased flow with normal increased FDG activity – represents:
