Abstract:
Myocardial perfusion imaging is a widely used approach to noninvasively identify myocardial ischemia and guide therapies. It is typically performed using single photon emission computed tomography. The competing technology positron emission tomography (PET) offers higher diagnostic accuracies but suffers from logistical limitations due to the use of short-lived radioisotopes. New (18)F-labeled perfusion markers were introduced in the past years and offer simplified supply approaches, as known fr...     »
