Evaluation of the Novel Myocardial Perfusion Positron-Emission Tomography Tracer ¹⁸ F-BMS-747158-02

Abstract

18F-BMS-747158-02 is a very attractive new PET perfusion tracer that allows quantitative assessment of regional myocardial perfusion over a wide flow range. The long half-life of 18F renders this tracer useful for clinical PET/CT applications in the workup of patients with suspected or proven coronary artery disease.
