PET/CT: Challenge for Nuclear Cardiology^*

Nuklearmedizinische Klinik und Poliklinik, Klinikum rechts der Isar der TU München, Munich, Germany

This review focuses on the clinical potential of PET/CT for the characterization of coronary artery disease. We describe the technical challenges of combining instrumentations with very different imaging performances and speculate on future clinical applications in the field of cardiology.

Key Words: basic cardiology • technical cardiology • clinical cardiology • PET/CT • cardiac • imaging
