In vivo myocardial microcirculation: evaluation with a whole-body x-ray CT method
1Department of Physiology & Biophysics, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905.
Abstract:
The detailed anatomic geometry of the myocardial microvasculature is unresolvable by current "whole body" imaging techniques. An index of microvascular patency can however be provided by monitoring the intramyocardial blood content by whole body imaging methods. Both spatial distribution and intracyclic changes of regional intramyocardial blood volume can be estimated by whole-body imaging techniques such as x-ray CT and SPECT. Examples of how these methods can be used are provided.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
