CardioPET

CardioPET is:

  • An F-18 labeled, modified fatty acid that provides insight into regions of metabolic insufficiency in myocardium

CardioPET may be used to:

  • Identify patients that will benefit from PCI or revascularization and guide intervention
  • Evaluate CAD in patients that cannot exercise

Top Panel: Horizontal Long Axis slices of myocardium in Normal Healthy Volunteer, 15-30 minutes after CardioPET injection.

Bottom Panel: Horizontal Long Axis slices of myocardium in subject diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease, 15-30 minutes after CardioPET injection.
