Non-Invasive Imaging Modalities for Clinical Investigation in Regenerative Medicine

“…Cardiology also gained immense benefits from the development of the hybrid imaging systems (e.g. correction of attenuation and evaluation of coronary classifications), CT for coronary angiography, and acquisition of 3-D hybrid images for the definition of heart viability and diagnosis of cardiac inflammations and infections [46]. Recent advances in stem cell therapy show promising results for myocardium restoration, neovascularization and enhancement of perfusion [47][48][49][50].…”
