A novel PET perfusion radiotracer, 18F-flurpiridaz, can diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD) in obese patients with a higher sensitivity and specificity compared to 99Tc-SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), according to research presented at the 2023 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Annual Meeting. 18F-flurpiridaz PET MPI obtained images at a lower radiation dose than 99Tc-SPECT MPI and performed similarly in both obese and non-obese patients.

An advanced artificial intelligence technique known as deep learning can predict major adverse cardiac events more accurately than current standard imaging protocols, according to research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2021 Annual Meeting. Utilizing data from a registry of more than 20,000 patients, researchers developed a novel deep learning network that has the potential to provide patients with an individualized prediction of their annualized risk for adverse events.

ASNC, SNMMI Issue Guide for Using PET Myocardial Blood Flow to Improve Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease Share Article The ability to measure myocardial blood flow (MBF) as part of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is one of the most useful developments in contemporary nuclear cardiology. Now, a new practical primer provides clinicians with clear instruction for using this powerful diagnostic tool to improve patient care. American Society of Nuclear Cardiology “This document is a valuable tool for learning the essentials of measuring PET myocardial blood flow, and it will be a helpful r...
