Objective Besides cardiac sarcoidosis, FDG-PET is rarely used in the diagnosis of
myocardial inflammation, while cardiac MRI (CMR) is the actual imaging reference for the
workup of myocarditis. Using integrated PET/MRI in patients with suspected myocarditis, we
prospectively compared FDG-PET to CMR and the feasibility of integrated FDG-PET/MRI in
myocarditis. Methods A total of 65 consecutive patients with suspected myocarditis were
prospectively assessed using integrated cardiac FDG-PET/MRI. Studies comprised T2 …
