A cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scan – which can also be referred to as a coronary CT angiography or CT angiogram – is an imaging test to view the heart and blood vessels. It is a test that carries few risks and is less invasive than alternative procedures such as an angiogram....
The value of such a capacitor, essentially it’s “spring constant” for the mechanically–minded, is approximated by the formula in Figure 1 when the separation distance between the plates is small relative to their area. It should be noted however, that mechanical spring constants and capacitor...
TIMI risk scores have been found to effectively measure the functioning of thecoronary blood vesselsthat provide blood flow to the heart. However, one flaw in the TIMI scale is that some categories included in the score have been found to carry more medical weight than others. TIMI scoring doe...
These may include one or more of the following: stress tests, nuclear imaging, echocardiogram, cardiac CT scan, and heart catheterization. The decision as to what test is most appropriate depends upon the patient, their symptoms, underlying health, risk factors, and the level of concern of the...
Cardiac Scoring Services Fluoroscopy Fluoroscopy uses injected contrast dye and an X-Ray machine to take a continuous series of X-rays instead of individual snapshots. Fluoroscopy Services Low Dose Lung Screening CT Low-dose lung CT (LDCT) screening is a safe imaging test that takes detailed pictu...

PI-RADS is a common clinical assessment method for the diagnosis field of PCa in clinical practice. However, as a semi-quantitative scoring system, PI-RADS is associated with low specificity in the diagnosis field of PCa [6], leading to unnecessary confirmation using biopsies [18]. Thus, the...
A major component of professionalism is a lifelong involvement in continuing medical education to ensure the physician is optimally prepared to make the decisions necessary to provide excellent patient care. However, with the explosion of information, new technology, and advanced surgical techniques, it...
