What does diaphragmatic attenuation artifact mean in your stress tests results?
Diaphragmatic attenuation artifact in stress test results refers to a decrease in the visibility of the heart due to the diaphragm blocking the imaging of the lower part of the heart. This artifact can occur during imaging tests such as echocardiograms or nuclear stress tests, leading to challenges in accurately assessing cardiac function. Strategies to minimize this artifact include adjusting patient positioning or using alternative imaging techniques to obtain clearer images of the heart.
What is fixed apical defect most likely attenuation artifact?
A fixed apical defect on a nuclear medicine myocardial perfusion scan is most likely due to an attenuation artifact caused by breast tissue, diaphragm, or body habitus.

Which heart disease did Vincent from gattaca have?

Scientific name for hole in heart?
