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.
