Practical Guide for Interpreting and Reporting Cardiac PET Measurements of Myocardial Blood Flow: An Information Statement from the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging

Abstract

One of the most exciting and useful advances in nuclear cardiology is the opportunity to measure myocardial blood flow (MBF) routinely as part of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with positron emission tomography (PET). Incorporating MBF into the MPI evaluation improves diagnosis and assessment of
