Abstract: | Conclusion Quantification of nuclear cardiac images provides a secondary support in reading myocardial perfusion images and improves
the reproducibility in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. The technology for the remote Web reading of nuclear cardiac
images and the quantitative data allows for an easy and secured access to patient studies without the limitations of time
and space. The recent increasing interests and applications in molecular targeted imaging have opened a new field in nuclear
cardiology, and absolute image quantification of the focal tracer uptake in the myocardium is exceedingly critical for the
quantitative analysis of molecular targeted images. |
