Yale researchers study heart disease with Gamma Medica-Ideas system

TriMed Staff | | Health Imaging | Screening
A team of Yale researchers is finding new ways to study heart disease using a Gamma Medica-Ideas FLEX Pre-Clinical imaging system, publishing its most recent findings in the November 15 edition of Circulation. The team used the SPECT-CT system to study molecular events that take place as damaged cells in the heart try to repair themselves after a heart attack. As these events are better understood, new therapies can be developed to help heart attack victims recover.
