Course Summary:
This presentation will explore the contemporary applications of PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification, focusing on clinical uses, tracers and protocols, quality control, and interpretation. Additionally, it will assess the latest diagnostic and prognostic literature to provide a comprehensive overview of PET MPI and MBF.
Course Objectives:
- Discuss clinical uses of PET MPI and myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification in the contemporary era
- Discuss PET perfusion tracers and protocols, and quality control procedures
- Describe the interpretation and reporting of PET MPI and MBF, incorporating non-perfusion findings
- Evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic literature related to PET MPI and MBF
