Cases
Case summary: This case highlights the ability of [15O]H2O PET to accurately detect discrete perfusion defects even in patients with relatively high global perfusion.
Case summary: This case illustrates the value of cardiac PET MPI for detecting high-risk multivessel CAD in a 69-year-old man with a high calcium score and burning chest discomfort.
Case summary: This case illustrates the role of PET myocardial perfusion imaging in diagnosing etiology of INOCA in an individual with chest pain and non-obstructive disease on coronary angiography.
Case summary: This case illustrates the incremental value of PET myocardial blood flow (MBF) to relative perfusion in a patient with recurrent symptoms despite maximal medications and multiple percutaneous interventions.
Case Summary We present a patient with hypertropic cardiomyopathy (HCM) presenting with suspected cardiac chest pain and discuss the potential role of perfusion PET in confirming coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD).…
Case Summary This case illustrates the role of PET myocardial perfusion imaging in the management of a patient with very high BMI which would prove technically challenging for other cardiac…
PET Case: Incremental value of Myocardial Blood Flow Reserve (MBFR) in Unmasking Multivessel Disease
Case Summary 66-year-old female with risk factors undergoing cardiac PET showed a small perfusion defect but with severe global reduction in stress myocardial blood flows and myocardial blood flow reserve…
Case Summary: This case highlights the importance of clinician awareness regarding mimickers of cardiac sarcoidosis on PET/CT and the need for thorough investigation for alternative etiologies to prevent incorrect diagnoses.…
Case Summary This case highlights multiple high-risk features that can be seen on PET MPI and myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR), which are associated with severe and often multi-vessel, coronary…
