Four Important Features of FMTVDM (FlemingMethod)

​

1) FMTVDM is the only patented method that can measure changes in regional blood flow and metabolism differentiating healthy from diseased tissue.

 

2) FMTVDM can quantitatively measure what is happening at the tissue level distinguishing dead from normal tissue, from inflammation & infection, from early and later coronary artery blood flow disease, from dysfunctionally abnormal tissue, from pre-cancers and cancer.

 

3) FMTVDM measurements allow clinicians and researchers to determine if a treatment is working in each individual; thus tailoring treatment to the patient, saving time, money, resources and LIVES.

​

4) FMTVDM also allows rapid determination of what research drugs and treatments work by measuring their effect at the tissue level where it matters.

The Fleming Method integrates with any nuclear camera and any applicable nuclear isotope to produce "True Quantification" of regional blood flow difference and metabolism.

 

Conventional nuclear images rely on human visual observation for subjective or "guestimate" evaluations.

 

The Fleming Method uses a complex, yet simple method of camera recalibration to turn images into numerical computations removing the human subjective evaluation and associated error.

 

Unlike common nuclear imaging protocols that require two injections of a nuclear isotope, the Fleming Method many times only requires one injection reducing patient venous punctures and radiation exposure.

Dr. Richard M. Fleming, inventor of Fleming Method calibration, measurement, and imaging patent, recognized that many of these isotopes can be measured sooner than previously expected.  This method enables the identification of conditions such as critical heart disease, cancers, and infections such as COVID-19.  The Fleming Method uses existing FDA approved devices and drugs to provide the computational evaluation to help determine severity of conditions otherwise missed with conventional methods.

The Fleming Method is a paradigm shift in nuclear imaging reducing scanning times in some instances by hours with use of existing equipment. In 2008 Creighton University was ready to proceed forward with Fleming Method and The Lincoln Journal Star was poised to write a feature story about this breakthrough.
