A newly developed cardiac PET imaging technique offers a simpler way to detect significant coronary artery disease—eliminating the need for complex scanning protocols. This innovative approach, which ...
Researchers have identified the optimal tracer kinetic model to quantify 18 F-flutemetamol myocardial uptake in patients with transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis. Presented at the 2023 Society of ...
Assessing atherosclerosis severity is essential for precise patient stratification. Specifically, there is a need to identify patients with residual inflammation because these patients remain at high ...
A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...
Figure 1. Exercise/rest measurements of the standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) are used with an exponential calibration function to estimate myocardial flow reserve (MFR). This allows (i) the ...
Chicago, Illinois (Embargoed until 1:33 p.m. CDT, Sunday, June 25, 2023)—Researchers have identified the optimal tracer kinetic model to quantify 18F-flutemetamol myocardial uptake in patients with ...
