Molecular Imaging

Nuclear imaging, also called molecular imaging, includes positron emission computed tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. This section includes radiopharmaceuticals and tracers, PET-CT, SPECT-CT, and PET-MRI. Molecular imaging includes the field of nuclear medicine, which uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, or radiopharmaceuticals, to diagnose and treat disease.

Representative case with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction: Myocardial perfusion images using 99mTc-tetrofosmin at rest (first row), 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET (second row), late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) from cardiac magnetic resonance (third row) and schematic drawings of the left ventricle (fourth row). Area of fibroblast activation exceeds infarct area and LGE signal, most common type of myocardial FAP-distribution.

Cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) perfusion images for two representative patients. Both patients had similar demographic characteristics. Neither patient had significant perfusion abnormalities as shown in the figure. Patient A had mild sleep apnea while patient B had severe obstructive sleep apnea. The corrected myocardial flow reserve (MFR) for patient A was normal at 3.24 while for patient B it was severely abnormal at 1.22.
