F-18 FDG Pozitron Emisyon Tomografisi/Bilgisayarlı Tomografi ile Miyokardiyal Canlılık Görüntüleme Kılavuzu: Guidelines for Myocardial Viability Imaging with F-18 FDG

Abstract

Myocardial viability imaging with Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (F-18 FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), in patients who are appropriate for coronary revascularization, in the presence of left ventricular dysfunction and rest myocardial perfusion defect due to coronary artery disease, has become a frequently used method to differentiate viable myocardial (hibernating) and non-viable myocardial tissues (scar). This guideline, has been prepared by Turkey Society of Nuclear Medicine Cardiology Working Group to provide a standart approach to cardiac viability imaging with F-18 FDG PET/CT. For this purpose details on instrumentation and reporting are summarized and all presented suggestions are submitted by evaluating the international guidelines and current literature. © Telif Hakkı 2020 Türkiye Nükleer Tıp Derneği / Nükleer Tıp Seminerleri, Galenos Yayınevi tarafından yayınlanmıştır.
