It has recently been suggested that, similar to MRI, CT can be used to detect infarcts at high
resolution by delayed myocardial contrast enhancement. In cardiac PET/CT, this ability to …

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 …

Background—Hybrid positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) allows
for combination of PET perfusion/metabolism imaging with infarct detection by CT delayed …

Aim: The key strength of PET is high physiological contrast; however, spatial resolution is
only modest. With the success of PET/CT imaging devices in oncology (especially with high …

Recently, positron emission tomography (PET) has been increasingly used also in clinical
cardiac imaging. The newest development, the hybrid imaging devices with 64-slice …

We optimized and evaluated dynamic myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) imaging on a
prototype spectral detector CT (SDCT) scanner. Simultaneous acquisition of energy …

Cardiovascular imaging has gained an important role in the evaluation of patients with either
known or suspected coronary artery disease. The choices have expanded, imaging …

812 Objectives: To evaluate 18F BMS747158-02 (as a new PET flow tracer) in myocardial
infarct (MI) size determination compared to in vitro histochemical TTC staining of the cardiac …

242 Objectives Simultaneous acquisition Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic
Resonance (PET/MR) is a new technology with potential use in cardiac perfusion imaging …

Background Assessment of myocardial viability is often needed in patients with chest pain
and reduced ejection fraction. We evaluated the performance of reduced resting MBF …
