WASHINGTON, D.C.—Technically advanced molecular imaging provides a 3-D way to significantly improve the diagnosis of heart disease, according to researchers at the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world’s largest molecular imaging and nuclear medicine society."The exciting results of our study show that physicians can use our technologically advanced fusion of anatomic and physiological three-dimensional color displays to significantly improve the accuracy of diagnosing heart disease,” said Cesar A. Santana, assistant professor of radiology at the Emory School of Medicine in Atlanta, Ga. “In addition, these computer fusion and rendering techniques could be used in the future with molecular imaging agents to detect and guide the treatment associated with coronary artery disease,” he added.
