DURATION:5 minutes WHY THEY’RE HEART SMART:Sizing up your particles gives a clearer picture of heart risk than the conventional test: Having a lot of large particles cuts risk, while small ones raise it. The more Lp(a) you have, the worse it is too—it makes LDL particles extra sticky...
However, the operational flexibility of these devices is restricted by their inability to record sufficient x-ray transmission data to reconstruct more than a single 5–15mm thick cross section of tissue during one scan and the relatively long duration (2–60s) for each scan. This renders such ...
While most clinical perfusion imaging is currently performed with CT or MR, a number of methods for PET imaging of tumor perfusion have been described. The inert PET radiotracer 15O-water PET represents the recognized gold standard for absolute quantification of tissue perfusion in both normal ...

Figure 3. Regression lines for each of the 29 fetuses, as calculated by multilevel analysis, for the percentage of body movements (a), the number of body movements per hour (b) and their mean duration (c), and median onset– onset interval (d) are strictly related to body movements. ...
ct scan done showing chronic lt thalamic infarct. Cardiac evaluation done and advised echocardiogram. Echocardiogram showing large VSD 2cm with significant overriding aorta, right ventricular hypertrophy, and infundibular stenosis with significant antegrade flow to the pulmonary arteries and underwent trans ...
(D) Probability of an LCC opening triggering a Ca2+spark.E) Average Ca2+spark duration. Ca2+spark synchrony measured as average delay time from start of the AP to each Ca2+spark peak (F) and variance of delay (G). In panels C-G, WT is indicated by black bars and ARDKO by red ...
CT fat density accurately reflects histologic fat quality in adults with HIV on and off antiretroviral therapy. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2019;104(10):4857–64. https://doi.org/10.1210/jc.2018-02785This is an ACTG study validating the correlation between CT scan results and histology of ...
presentation within 3-5days of the ablation has been reported.PAP04Findings on CT scans can be non-specific but, infected pleural and pericardial effusions may suggest esophageal contamination of the pleural spaces. CT scan of the chest (without oral contrast) with the presence of intravenous cont...
