Novel Radiotracer Demonstrates High Diagnostic Efficacy for Obese Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

Imaging Technology

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. Patel also noted that 18F-flurpiridaz could significantly increase availability of and access to PET myocardial perfusion imaging across the country, and potentially all over the world.

SNMMI: PET/CT reveals connection between CVD and cognitive impairment

AuntMinnie

PET/CT reveals a connection between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cognitive impairment, according to research presented at the recent Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) meeting. The condition is primarily due to atherosclerosis, and it diminishes the delivery of blood and oxygen to organs.
