18F-FDG PET is an important diagnostic tool for detecting myocardial viability in patients
with coronary artery disease. In combination with perfusion scanning, 18F-FDG PET allows …

The assessment of myocardial viability is essential for the care and treatment of myocardial
infarction patients. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) is an analog of glucose that is taken …

18F-FDG PET may assist decision making in ischemic cardiomyopathy. The PET and
Recovery Following Revascularization (PARR 2) trial demonstrated a trend toward …

Objectives This study sought to evaluate an imaging approach using gated 99m Tc-MIBI
(MIBI) SPECT and gated 18 F-FDG (FDG) PET for assessment of myocardial viability and …

We assessed image quality using a practical and time-efficient protocol for intravenous
glucose loading and insulin injection before administration of 18F-FDG for PET myocardial …

Medicine, Abraham et al. report a second post hoc analysis (1) of the PET and Recovery
Following Revascularization (PARR 2) trial of 18F-FDG PET–directed versus standard …

Background—New high-energy collimators for single photon emission computed
tomography (SPECT) cameras have made imaging of positron-emitting tracers, such as …

This comparative study was performed to determine whether a conventional planar gamma
camera optimised for 511-keV imaging can reliably assess myocardial viability using the …

This study assessed a dual-head coincidence gamma camera (hybrid PET) equipped with
single-photon transmission for myocardial fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) imaging by …

BACKGROUND: Our objectives were to investigate the accuracy of global and regional left
ventricular (LV) function parameters determined from gated fluorine 18 deoxyglucose (FDG) …
