Cardiac Imaging and Diagnostics
Cardiac Imaging and Diagnostics is a research topic within Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging. Science Explorer counts 89k research works in it since 1950. 15.2% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on advanced cardiac imaging techniques and diagnostics for the assessment of coronary artery disease, myocardial perfusion, and myocardial infarction using computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance imaging. It also explores the association of coronary calcium, microvascular dysfunction, and cardiovascular risk assessment with cardiac imaging, while addressing concerns related to radiation exposure.
