The increasing amount of clinically relevant information obtained by positron emission
tomography (PET), primarily with fluorine-18 labelled 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-d-glucose, has …

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with PET has expanded significantly over the past
decade. With the wider availability of PET scanners and the routine use of quantitative blood …

Abstract Purpose The PET tracer 82 Rb is commonly used to evaluate regional perfusion
defects for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. There is limited information on the …

Noninvasive measurement of myocardial blood flow in absolute terms (ie, milliliters per gram
per min) has been difficult to accomplish despite the intrinsically quantitative power of …

Vxurrent pharmacologie or stress perfusion imaging reflects relative distribution of maximum
coronary flow or relative coronary flow reserve (CFR)(1, 2) which may be normal in the …

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical prognostic value, with
and without revascularization, of the size of myocardial infarction and viability as measured …

Advances in medical imaging technology have led to an increased demand for
radiopharmaceuticals for early and accurate diagnosis of cardiac function and diseased …

Positron emission tomography offers the ability to noninvasively assess regional myocardial
perfusion in absolute terms (ie, milliliters per gram per minute). Accurate estimates have …

Positron emission tomography (PET) centers without cyclotrons use generator-produced
rubidium-82 (82Rb) for assessment of myocardial perfusion. The aim of the present study …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique with important
clinical applications in cardiology, oncology, and neurology. In cardiac imaging, its role has …
