3001 Introduction: 15O-water is the ideal cardiac PET perfusion tracer due to its short half-
life and extraction properties. However, the use of 15O-water has been limited due to the …

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction While
considered the gold standard for cardiac perfusion imaging and myocardial blood flow …

The application of 15O-water for cardiac PET perfusion imaging was one of the main goals
when this tracer was developed. However, the development of a method from basic …

3093 Introduction: Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD) is the disease responsible for more
deaths in UK and similarly in most of western country. Our Nuclear Medicine (NM) service …

Abstract Oxygen-15-labeled water (15O-H2O) is used as a radiopharmaceutical tracer with
positron emission tomography (PET). Its short radioactive half-life permits consecutive rest …

Background The axial length of a conventional PET/CT scanner is about 15–30 cm.
However, uEXPLORER Total-Body PET/CT has an ultra-long axial field of view of 194 cm …

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 …

While PET, in conjunction with CT, 1 has been an important tool in the management of
oncology patients, accounting for 86% of PET scans by 2016, 2 PET with attenuation and …

1377 Objectives Rb-82 PET/CT studies of the heart include low-dose CT scans for PET
attenuation correction (CT/AC), with the X ray generator set at 120 kV. The dose of ionizing …

1167 Objectives To date automated analysis of function from cardiac PET has been
performed with tools developed for gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS). We evaluated …
