Emerging Techniques for Cardiovascular PET
Overview

The application of positron emission tomography (PET) to cardiac disease has yielded tremendous developments in the evaluation of coronary artery, myocardial, and valvular heart disease over the past several decades. These advances have included development of new radiotracers, incremental technological improvements, and coupling of PET with other non-invasive cardiac imaging modalities. The current era has seen rapid, successive and wide-ranging advances in PET myocardial perfusion and metabolic imaging. This review will address emerging techniques in cardiovascular PET imaging, including the measurement of absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF), use of novel tracers, and other advances in heart failure, infection imaging, and valvular disease.
