位于美国马萨诸塞州的麻省总医院(MGH)和哈佛医学院、巴西圣保罗Beneficencia Portuguesa医院(Sao Paulo, Brazil)的研究人员对比了这种新型扫描检测与当前作为诊断标准的冠状动脉血管造影术,这是一项侵入性检测方法。结果发现MRI的精确性高达88%。
Noninvasive Cardiac MRI Shows Blocked Arteries
A new cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique can noninvasively reveal blockage of the coronary arteries with high diagnostic accuracy, according to a recent study.
Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School, both based in Boston, MA, USA, and Beneficencia Portuguesa Hospital (Sao Paulo, Brazil) compared their new imaging modality against the current diagnostic standard, coronary angiography, which is an invasive procedure. The MRI results provided an accuracy of 88%.
