The aim of this study was to compare 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) dynamic
PET for the absolute quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) with 13N-ammonia (13N …

N-13 ammonia mimics certain properties of microspheres. It rapidly clears from blood into
myocardium where it becomes fixed in proportion to myocardial blood flow. Used with …

The usefulness of N-13 ammonia as an indicator of regional myocardial perfusion suitable
for positron emission tomography has been suggested. However, the relation between …

To derive a quantitative index of regional myocardial blood flow, the arterial input function of
the flow tracer N-13 ammonia and the regional myocardial N-13 activity concentrations were …

In this study, factor analysis of dynamic structures (FADS) was used to extract the â€

Positron emission tomography (PET) was applied to the measurement of myocardial
perfusion using the perfusion tracer 13N-labeled ammonia. 13N ammonia was delivered …

Background [13N] Ammonia has been validated in dog studies as a myocardial blood flow
tracer. Estimates of myocardial blood flow by [13N] ammonia were highly linearly correlated …
