SESSION VIII
The Clinical Scenario: Appropriate Use of Imaging Modalities to Guide Clinical Decisions
Chairmen: P. MARZULLO (CNR – Pisa)
T. YASUDA (Harvard University – Boston)
Case 1) Asymptomatic 55-year-old man, bus driver with multiple risk factors,
history of premature CV events and no evidence of peripheral atherosclerotic
lesions (intermediate probability of CAD): How can we better stratify the CV risk ?
10.30 Detection of the Atherosclerotic Burden by CT
E. MARTUSCELLI (Rome University)
10.40 Stress Gated-SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
M. MAZZANTI (Ancona)
10.50 Discussion
Case 2) Asymptomatic 70-year-old man, smoker, high cholesterol and documented
multiple peripheral atherosclerotic lesions (charotid, iliac, renal)
(High probability of CAD).
11.10 Role of Stress Myocardial Perfusion Imaging SPECT and PET
F. GALASSI (Catania University)
11.20 Stress Echocardiography
L. GALIUTO (Rome Catholic University)
11.30 CT Angiography
R. FATTORI (Bologna University)
11.40 Discussion
Case 3) 60-year-old man with LDL 110mg/dl, history of 6 months exertional
chest pain, typical of angina
12.00 Role of CT Angiography: would it replace standard Angiography?
D. CHIAPPINO (CNR-PISA)
12.10 Stress Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: the Peculiarity of the
Functional Imaging
