NORTHRIDGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 2005--A team of Yale researchers is finding new ways to study heart disease using a Gamma Medica-Ideas FLEX(TM) Pre-Clinical imaging system. The research team published its most recent findings in the November 15 edition of the prestigious scientific journal Circulation. The team used the powerful combination of nuclear medicine (SPECT) and x-ray (CT) imaging technologies found in the FLEX imaging system to study molecular events that take place as damaged cells in the heart try to repair themselves after a heart attack. As these events are better understood, new therapies can be developed to help heart attack victims recover.
