The use of iodinated contrast media (CM) for both diagnostic imaging and interventional studies continues to increase. The introduction of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scanners allows for quicker imaging of internal organs, and image acquisition is now fast enough for study of the coronary arteries. This technology requires the delivery of a high concentration of iodine to the… View more

Carotid contrast ultrasound (CU) can be a useful clinical tool for diagnosing surrogate markers of atherosclerosis and identifying the presence of subclinical cardiovascular disease. Although ultrasound contrast agents are currently approved for use in enhancing echocardiograms (ECGs) only, with appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals these contrast agents can also be used to… View more

Tissue Doppler-based measurements of myocardial strain are possible and accurate for structures that move along the ultrasound beam, but are underestimated in other directions and even impossible for angles close to 90º. To overcome these limitations, the speckle tracking technique was introduced in 2004, offering a more user-friendly workflow and better reproducibility.1 This echocardiographic… View more
