19 Φεβ 2021 · This chapter aims to present the most commonly used PET procedures in cardiology. It is schematically divided into perfusion, coronary flow, myocardial viability, and infection/inflammation. The improved PET diagnostic accuracy is due to instrumentation and radiotracer advantages over single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
1 Νοε 2021 · PET measurement of MBF assesses the entire coronary circulation, including focal obstruction and diffuse disease of the epicardial coronary arteries, the functioning of the microvasculature, and the ability of the cell membrane to transport the radionuclide into the cell.
A positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) rest/stress cardiac perfusion scan is a way to take pictures of blood flow to your heart muscle. Pictures will be taken when you are at rest and after a stress test. This scan is a nuclear medicine exam. It uses a radioactive substance called a tracer.
A PET Myocardial Perfusion (MP) Stress Test evaluates the blood flow (perfusion) through the coronary arteries to the heart muscle using a radioactive tracer.
