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…

Numerous advances in cardiovascular imaging technology paralleled by the simultaneous growth in wearable technology, mobile health devices, and electronic medical record integration have encouraged increasingly complex and large multi-dimensional data acquisition.1 The influx of data with each scan is exponentially rising in all cardiovascular imaging modalities and will exceed the capabilities…

During the last decade, three-dimensional (3-D) imaging has rapidly become an essential part of the visualization tools used in a variety of diagnostic procedures in radiology. With the latest generation of multi-detector computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners it is possible to acquire high-resolution dynamic images of the heart in a single breath-hold. These…

This article will attempt to cover the areas of historic background, current status, newer applications of existing tracers, attenuation correction, metabolic imaging, sympathetic imaging, new stress agents, molecular imaging, and positron emission tomography (PET) without on-site cyclotron. By no means is it meant to be inclusive of all that is currently happening but rather to illustrate some…

Accurate detection of left ventricular (LV) thrombus affects clinical outcomes and therapeutic management, as thrombus provides a substrate for thromboembolic events and a rationale for anticoagulation. Relative risk (RR) for thrombus development is highest among subjects with systolic heart failure or myocardial infarction (MI), reflecting a link between impaired LV blood stasis, pro-coagulant…

Coronary artery disease (CAD) represents the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Western populations.1 The prime diagnostic tool that allowed the development of rational treatment techniques for this disease is invasive coronary angiography ((CA) an X-ray fluoroscopy guided procedure), which is associated with a low rate of life-threatening complications.2 More than 40% of the invasive CA…
