The aim of this study was to investigate whether compartmental modeling of 1-11C-glucose
PET kinetics can be used for noninvasive measurements of myocardial glucose metabolism …

In this study, we compared the accuracy of the rate of myocardial glucose use (rMGU)
measured using PET and 1-11C-glucose with the rate measured using PET and the more …

Background Measurements of the rate of myocardial glucose utilization (rMGU) play a key
role in the assessment of alterations in myocardial substrate metabolism in normal and …

The purpose of evaluating myocardial perfusion during stress testing and at rest is to
determine whether there is evidence of myocardial ischemia and/or infarction in those …

Abstract Objective:[2-18F] 2-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is widely used to trace glucose
