The use of Gd-DTPA as a marker of myocardial viability in reperfused acute myocardial infarction
At present, accurate assessment of the extent of myocardial viability after acute myocardial infarction is limited due to the spatial resolution of currently available imaging modalities. MR cardiac imaging, w...

Open AccessTransbilayer phospholipids molecular imaging
Nuclear medicine has become a key part of molecular imaging. In the present review article, we focus on the transbilayer phospholipids as exquisite targets for radiolabelled probes in molecular imaging. Asymme...

Open AccessComparison of the myocardial clearance of endothelial progenitor cells injected early versus late into reperfused or sustained occlusion myocardial infarction
Stem cell transplantation following AMI has shown promise for the repair or reduction of the amount of myocardial injury. There is some evidence that these treatment effects appear to be directly correlated to...

Open AccessMyocardial glucose suppression may interfere with the detection of inflammatory cells with FDG-PET as suggested in a canine model of myocardial infarction
After myocardial infarction, fibrosis and an ongoing dysregulated inflammatory response have been shown to lead to adverse cardiac remodeling. FDG PET is an imaging modality sensitive to inflammation as long a...
