4D PET: Beyond conventional dynamic PET imaging
In this paper, we review novel techniques in the emerging field of spatiotemporal 4D PET imaging. We will discuss existing limitations in conventional dynamic PET imaging which involves independent reconstruction of dynamic PET datasets. Various approaches that seek to attempt some or all of these limitations are reviewed in this work, including techniques that util...
متن کاملCardiac and Hepatic T2*-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract Background Iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. Severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. Many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of Iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. Magne...
متن کاملPET Imaging of Cardiac Hypoxia: Hitting Hypoxia Where It Hurts
Purpose of Review In this review, we outline the potential for hypoxia imaging as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in cardiology. We describe the lead hypoxia PET radiotracers currently in development and propose a rationale for how they should most appropriately be screened and validated. Recent Findings While the majority of hypoxia imaging agents has been developed for oncology, the requir...
متن کاملCardiac Amyloid Imaging with 18F-Florbetaben PET: A Pilot Study.
Our aim was to determine the feasibility of 18F-florbetaben PET in diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis. METHODS 18F-florbetaben PET was performed on 14 patients: 5 amyloid light chain, 5 amyloid transthyretin, and 4 control with hypertensive heart disease. Qualitative and quantitative assessments of 18F-florbetaben activity were performed using the SUVmean of the left ventricular myocardium and bl...
متن کاملRegadenoson versus dipyridamole hyperemia for cardiac PET imaging.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to compare regadenoson and dipyridamole hyperemia for quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging. BACKGROUND Regadenoson is commonly used for stress perfusion imaging. However, no study in nuclear cardiology has employed a paired design to compare quantitative hyperemic flow from regadenoson to more traditional agents such as dipyridamole. Additionally, th...
