摘要 |
Computer-assisted processes are disclosed for using nuclear medicine image studies (e.g. PET or SPECT), preferably in combination with anatomic image studies (e.g., CT or MRI), to identify and quantify regions of affected organ tissue (e.g., myocardial infarcts), and to calculate doses of stem cells or other therapy to deliver to such regions. The resulting (static) image data showing the affected tissue may also be integrated with live (moving) image data, such as a fluoroscopy image, during a subsequent interventional procedure to generate a hybrid image showing the real time location of an injection catheter relative to the affected tissue.
