We compared 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) 82Rb PET imaging in 3 different
experiments: in a realistic heart–thorax phantom, in a uniformity-resolution phantom, and in …

Most new PET scanners have the capability to collect data in 3-dimensional (3D)(septa
removed) mode. This allows many more detected events at the cost of increased random …

Current PET instrumentation and performance metrics have been developed primarily to
optimize whole-body imaging with 18 FDG. Dynamic 3D-mode PET imaging for …

Background Small-animal myocardial infarct models are frequently used in the assessment
of new cardioprotective strategies. A validated quantification of perfusion using a non …

Three-dimensional (3D) mode imaging is the current standard for PET/CT systems. Dynamic
imaging for quantification of myocardial blood flow with short-lived tracers, such as 82Rb …

PET allows for quantitative, regional myocardial perfusion imaging. The short half-lives of
the perfusion tracers currently in use limit their clinical applicability. Here, the biodistribution …

Background Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with fluorine-18 (18 F)
Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and flow tracer such as Rubidium-82 (82 Rb) is an established …

Purpose To assess the feasibility of hybrid imaging of the heart with fluorine 18
fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) on an integrated 3-T positron emission tomography …

The aim of this work was to compare the quantitative accuracy of iteratively reconstructed
cardiac 18F-FDG PET with that of filtered backprojection for both 2-dimensional (2D) and 3 …

Perfusable tissue index (PTI) is a marker of myocardial viability and requires acquisition of
transmission, 15O-CO, and 15O-H2O scans. The aim of this study was to generate …
