Inflammation that occurs after acute myocardial infarction plays a pivotal role in healing by
facilitating the creation of a supportive scar. 18F-FDG, which is taken up avidly by …

Cellular inflammation is an integral part of the healing process following acute myocardial
infarction and has been under intense investigation for both therapeutic and prognostic …

Background—Hybrid positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) allows
for combination of PET perfusion/metabolism imaging with infarct detection by CT delayed …

Background The diagnosis and management of myocardial infarction are increasingly
complex, and establishing the presence of intracoronary thrombosis has major implications …

THE ASSESSMENT OF BOTH THE PATTERN AND ACTIVITY OF MYOCARDIAL INJURY
HAS IMPORTANT implications for the clinical management of patients with cardiovascular …

Purpose To compare the size of the area with reduced myocardial fluorodeoxygluose (FDG)
uptake with the endocardial surface area (ESA) method as a marker for the area at risk in …

Objectives: We sought to investigate the usefulness of integrated positron emission
tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) for in vivo characterization of an …

Angiogenesis, or the formation of new microvasculature, is a physiological process that may
occur in the setting of chronic tissue ischemia and can play an important role in improving …

The combination of small-animal PET and MRI data provides quantitative in vivo insights
into cardiac pathophysiology, integrating information on biology and morphology. We sought …

Reliable, repeatable, and time-efficient noninvasive measurement of infarct size in mice with
PET would benefit studies aimed at the exploration of biochemical and functional changes …
