The field of nuclear cardiology is witnessing growing interest in the use of cardiac PET for
the evaluation of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The available evidence …

Coronary function versus anatomy, flow versus stenosis: which optimizes coronary artery
disease (CAD) management? In patients, coronary flow is poorly related to stenosis severity …

Stress-induced myocardial perfusion defects have been firmly established as an important
diagnostic and prognostic technique for identifying flow-limiting epicardial coronary artery …

Cardiac PET combined with CT is rapidly expanding despite artifactual defects and false-
positive results due to misregistration of PET and CT attenuation correction data—the …

Cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has advanced from primarily a
research tool to a practical, high-performance clinical imaging modality. The widespread …

With the current advances in imaging technology and changes in patient demographics,
computed tomography (CT) has become an important part of nuclear cardiology practice for …

Positron emission tomography (PET) utilizes radionuclide tracer techniques that produce
images of in vivo radionuclide distribution using measurements made with an external …

CT-based attenuation correction is a widely used option in commercial PET/CT scanners.
However, as a result of a nonsimultaneous acquisition and differences in temporal …

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 …
