"For instance, the role of nuclear cardiology for assessing pericardial structures, myocardialfibrosis or valvular heart disease associated with RIHD is limited by its suboptimal spatial resolution," they wrote.[medicalphysicsweb.org]

The pathophysiology remains poorly understood, but radiation "might harm virtually all cardiac tissues and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms may be related to micro- and macrovascular damages," they explained.[medicalphysicsweb.org]
But endothelial cells remain sensitive to radiation, and the pathophysiology of most forms of RIHD appears to be associated with damage to endothelial cells.[mdedge.com]
Few studies in animal models have explored the potential of molecular imaging to detect or monitor the effectors and/or modulators of inflammation based on the ability of radiolabeled ligands to measure pathophysiological processes.[ecrjournal.com]
