Abstract

The clinical value of cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was demonstrated more than 20 years ago,1–3 but its clinical utilization has been low until recently. This was due to the limitation of PET imaging to research centers with a PET camera and a cyclotron, its great expense, and the lack of reimbursement for clinical PET studies. Another disincentive was lack of standardized software for cardiac PET image processing, display, or regional quantification on most PET imaging systems.
