Cardiovascular Imaging-MRI, CT, Nuclear Medicine

Cardiovascular imaging- MRI can be used to measure how the heart uses oxygen for both healthy patients and those with heart disease. Currently, the diagnostic tests available to measure blood flow to the heart require injection of radioactive chemicals or contrast agents that change the MRI signal and detect the presence of disease.

We would like to welcome the researchers to bring out the new advance methods where MRI does not require needles and chemicals being injected into the body.

Cardiac nuclear medicine is useful in diagnosing and assessing coronary artery disease. It is also used to evaluate cardiomyopathy and identify possible damage to the heart from chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Nuclear medicine examinations provide unique information including details on the function and anatomy of structures that is often unattainable using other imaging procedures. Nuclear medicine procedures can be time consuming. It can take several hours to days for the radiotracer to accumulate in the area of interest, and imaging may take up to several hours to perform.

Further, Cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) is a proven clinical utility in the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease, in guiding structural heart disease intervention, and in the diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart disease.

As we know technology is changing rapidly in the field of healthcare leading to advancement in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with possible cardiovascular disease, our aim is to bring together experts to provide interactive session and networking.
