DEVELOPING A NOVEL MEDICAL IMAGING TECHNIQUE FOR DIAGNOSING CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Abstract

Technical advancements that have significantly increased the sensitivity and spatial resolution of imaging modalities over the last ten years have made medical imaging much more widespread. The remarkable developments in medical imaging have led to the creation of clinical imaging technology, which can significantly contribute in the development of customized patient care. Swine animal models are very helpful for studying coronary flow and for generating predictive tools for the development and progression of disease.The coronary flow in humans and pigs has not yet been shown to be equal, despite the fact that myocardial hemodynamics is crucial to these processes.  The study made use of a variety of flow and structural characteristics obtained using intravascular ultrasound and coronary computed tomography angiography.  In addition to providing comprehensive diagnostic data, some technologies may also predict the outcomes of therapies, enabling more customized intervention planning.   The primary focus of this research issue is the instruments that improve medical imaging's capacity to precisely measure cardiovascular disease.
