Background—The goal of this study was to evaluate a new 18F-labeled positron-emission
tomography (PET) perfusion tracer, 18F BMS747158-02, for the assessment of myocardial …

Background—We explored the feasibility of measuring regional tracer activity concentrations
and flow defects in myocardium of rats with a high spatial resolution small-animal PET …

Background This study assessed the reproducibility and accuracy of 2-deoxy-2 [18 F] fluoro-
d-glucose (18 F-FDG) for non-invasive quantification of myocardial infarct size in mice by a …

Background Small-animal myocardial infarct models are frequently used in the assessment
of new cardioprotective strategies. A validated quantification of perfusion using a non …

Conventional myocardial perfusion PET tracers require onsite tracer production because of
their short radioactive half-lives. To investigate the potential of a new 18F-labeled …

PET allows for quantitative, regional myocardial perfusion imaging. The short half-lives of
the perfusion tracers currently in use limit their clinical applicability. Here, the biodistribution …

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 …

Background BMS747158 labeled with 18 F is being developed for PET myocardial perfusion
imaging. Imaging studies showed clear detection of necrotic tissue in acute myocardial …

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 …

Background—Positron-emission tomography (PET) tracers for myocardial perfusion are
commonly labeled with short-lived isotopes that limit their widespread clinical use. 18F-BMS …
