This week, cardiologists learned for the first time they have been examining black holes for decades and did not know it.
ASNC
This channel contains news about the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC), including coverage of its annual meeting and links to recently released practice guidelines. ASNC is a leading resource for the subspecialty of cardiac nuclear imaging (also called molecular imaging). Cardiac imaging with either PET or SPECT is primarily used for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), which shows area of areas of reduced blood flow due to ischemia or infarct.

A comparison of the first-ever image of a black hole released this week by the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration et al. and a cardiac nuclear imaging exam. Left is the black hole, and right is a similar nuclear imaging exam of the heart showing a similar ischemic perfusion defect to the black hole.
