Validation of a Single Rest-Stress Imaging Protocol for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Description

We propose a single-scan two-injection myocardial perfusion imaging protocol using ammonia. Subjects will undergo single-scan two-injection imaging as well as regular stress single-scan single-injection protocol and the myocardial blood flow of both techniques will be compared.

Conditions

Coronary Artery Disease, Myocardial Ischemia

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
