The first was a nuclear medicine radioisotope technique called beta-methyl-p-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) scintigraphy1
The study included 677 patients from the multicentre, prospective cohort study B-SAFE. 4 BMIPP scintigraphy, ECG and C reactive-protein protein assessment was performed in all patients.
Patients who suffered sudden cardiac death were more likely to have abnormal BMIPP scintigraphy, abnormal Q wave
In a clinical setting, BMIPP scintigraphy can be used in hemodialysis patients who are identified as high risk by abnormal Q wave and increased C reactive-protein protein.
"Further diagnostic tests should be considered in high risk patients with abnormal BMIPP scintigraphy. Cardiac function assessment for heart failure, coronary angiography for ischaemic heart disease and Holter ECG monitoring for lethal arrhythmias can identify the type of myocardial injury
and help physicians select a prophylactic therapeutic strategy against sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients
#Compact light source improves CT SCANS With its ability to image cross sections of the human body, X-ray computer tomography (CT) has become an important diagnostic tool in medicine.
Conventional CT SCANS are very detailed when it comes to bones and other dense body parts that strongly absorb X-rays.
However, the technique struggles with the visualization and distinction of"soft tissues"such as organs, which are more transparent to X-rays."

"More than One Kind of Contrastthe amount of detail in a CT SCAN depends on the difference in brightness,
but they become visible in phase-contrast tomography, "says the study's lead author, Elena Eggl, a researcher at the Technical University of Munich."
