Abstract

There has been an evolutionary leap in SPECT imaging with the advent of camera systems that use solid-state crystals and novel collimator designs configured specifically for cardiac imaging. Solid-state SPECT camera systems have facilitated dramatic reductions in both imaging time and radiation dose while maintaining high diagnostic accuracy. These advances are related to simultaneous improvement in photon sensitivity due to the collimator and imaging geometry, as well as image resolution due to the improved energy resolution of the new crystals. Improved photon sensitivity has facilitated fast or low-dose myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), and early dynamic imaging has emerged as a technique for assessing myocardial blood flow with SPECT. Lastly, general-purpose solid-state camera systems and hybrid SPECT/CT systems have also been developed that may have important clinical roles in cardiac imaging. This review summarizes state-of-the-art solid-state SPECT MPI technology and clinical applications, including emerging techniques for SPECT MPI flow estimation. We also discuss imaging protocols used with the new cameras, potential imaging pitfalls, and the latest data providing large-scale validation of the diagnostic and prognost...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
