revascularization. Background. Recently, fluorine-18 (F-18) fluorodeoxyglucose in …

Objectives: This study examined whether multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)
improves the ability to define peri-infarct zone (PIZ) heterogeneity relative to magnetic …

In patients with non–insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), FDG PET imaging is
often problematic because of poor uptake of FDG. Different protocols have been used; …
