PY - 2022 T2 - Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications, 4e AB - KEY POINTSCardiac positron emission tomography (PET) perfusion imaging offers excellent diagnostic accuracy and image quality with low radiation exposure in comparison to single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).Cardiac PET tracers offer low radiation exposure and faster protocols but are limited to pharmacologic stress.Myocardial blood flow is now routine and compliments cardiac PET perfusion imaging.Risk stratification with cardiac PET perfusion imaging and myocardial blood flow offers precise decisions regarding therapies including interventionPatient selection for cardiac MPI is critical for the proper use of the modality.An emerging aspect of cardiovascular PET is the use in nonperfusion indications, especially with fluorodeoxyglucose imaging.
