1. Movement artifact reduction in laser Doppler blood flowmetry : myocardial perfusion applications
Abstract : Laser Doppler perfusion monitoring (LDPM) and imaging (LDPI) enable assessment of tissue microvascular perfusion. The techniques are based on the Doppler broadening of the optical spectrum occurring when coherent laser light is scattered by moving red blood cells (RBC). READ MORE

2. Myocardial Perfusion and Function: Comparative assessment by ECG, SPECT and MRI
Abstract : Evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function is important in management of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. This thesis focuses on the use of common diagnostic methods, myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) and electrocardiography (ECG), to enhance and validate the diagnostic information.

3. Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and an Intravascular Contrast Agent
Abstract : The intravascular contrast agent NC100150 Injection (Clariscan™) was tested for its ability to induce signal intensity changes in myocardium, both in steady state and during first pass, and thereby demarcating non-perfused myocardium from perfused. Steady state: Ex vivo in pigs and when using 4 mg Fe/kg bodyweight (b.w. READ MORE

4. Evaluation of Automatic Quantification Programs for Myocardial Perfusion SPECT using Monte Carlo Simulations
Abstract : Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition in which the blood supply to the myocardium is partially or completely blocked due to plaque build-up in the artery wall. Myocardial SPECT imaging is a commonly used technique to assess the blood flow to the myocardium and the function of the heart. READ MORE
