The conventional dynamic cardiac phantom used in the field of nuclear medicine has a
structure for which the size of the external side of the heart (the outer membrane substituting …

A dynamic heart phantom for the quality control of tomographic systems used in nuclear
cardiology imaging was developed, built, and tested. The heart phantom anatomically …

391 Objectives: Cardiac imaging has held a place of prominence in the field of nuclear
medicine for decades. Cardiac images are acquired with gamma cameras, PET scanners …

A nuclear imaging of heart is a noninvasive procedure that reveals the cardiac structure and
physiology enabling evaluation of cardiac function. According to the regulations published …

The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of cardiac evaluation with a dynamic
flat-panel detector (FPD), based on changes in pixel values during cardiac pumping. To …

Purpose Previous studies have shown the ability of rubidium-82 (82 Rb) positron emission
tomography (PET) imaging to quantitatively measure myocardial blood flow (MBF), many of …

We previously developed a realistic phantom for the cardiac motion for use in medical
imaging research. The phantom was based upon a gated magnetic resonance imaging …

In interventional cardiology, three-dimensional anatomical and functional information of the
cardiac chambers, eg the left ventricle, would have an important impact on diagnosis and …

The aim of this study was to develop a dynamic cardiac phantom for quality control in
myocardial scintigraphy. The dynamic heart phantom constructed only contained the left …

Methods: The mathematical cardiac torso phantom, developed to study LV myocardium
perfusion, was modified to simulate the radioactivity distribution of a" Tc-gated blood-pool …
