Open AccessInflow-weighted pulmonary perfusion: comparison between dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI versus perfusion scintigraphy in complex pulmonary circulation
Due to the different properties of the contrast agents, the lung perfusion maps as measured by 99mTc-labeled macroaggregated albumin perfusion scintigraphy (PS) are not uncommonly discrepant from those measure...

A noninvasive sizing method to choose fitted Amplatzer septal occluder by transthoracic echocardiography in patients with secundum atrial septal defects
To simplify the conventional procedure, we developed a technique for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs) under transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) sizing without balloon sizing. At present,...
