Rhodamine 6G radio-pharmaceutical will be injected to determine myocardial blood flow
Washington University School of Medicine
St Louis, Missouri, United States
Dosimetry group
Evaluate both image quality and myocardial blood flow at different imaging time points. Image quality provides higher count Density and high spatial resolution, which makes it easier to see the heart vessels, and myocardial blood flow is measured in mL/g/min. Both measurements will be agregated to arrive at one reported value helps determine the balance of heart disease and in small and large vessels
Time frame: 1-2 days
Stable Heart Patients
Determine myocardial blood flow in stable heart patients. Myocardial blood flow is measured in mL/g/min which can show normal blood flow with stable patients.
Time frame: 1-2 days
