Cardiac nuclear medicine, cardiac computed tomography (CT), interventional cardiology
procedures, and electrophysiology procedures are increasing in number and account for an …

The continued high utilization of rest-stress single-photon emission computed tomographic
(SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is supported by its known clinical benefits …

Purpose We assessed the feasibility of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and flow reserve (MFR)
estimation using dynamic SPECT with a novel CZT camera in patients with stable CAD, in …

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is well established in the diagnosis and workup of
patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD); however, it can …

Background—Positron-emission tomography (PET) tracers for myocardial perfusion are
commonly labeled with short-lived isotopes that limit their widespread clinical use. 18F-BMS …

Context Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is the single medical test with the highest
radiation burden to the US population. Although many patients undergoing MPI receive …

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

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare combined PET/MRI with PET/CT and
cardiac MRI in the evaluation of cardiac sarcoidosis and myocarditis. Methods Ten patients …

An important evolution has taken place recently in the field of cardiovascular Positron
Emission Tomography (PET) imaging. Being originally a highly versatile research tool that …

Prior estimates of radiation-absorbed doses from 82Rb, a frequently used PET perfusion
tracer, yielded discrepant results. We reevaluated 82Rb dosimetry using human in vivo …
